"A name synonymous with the profession of acting, her noted style became the cornerstone at the conservatory frequented by talents such as Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Kim Basinger, Warren Beatty, Candice Bergen and more.  Combining what she learned from the Group Theatre, The Yiddish Theatre, Broadway, Hollywood, and Stanislavsky, she opened the Stella Adler Theater Studio (later renamed the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting). Her belief in the seriousness of her art kept many accomplished members of the theater coming back. Johnny Grant will introduce Irene Gilbert - (creator and Founding Director), Tom Oppenheim (Stella's Grandson and President and Artistic Director) and Ellen Adler (Daughter of the late great legend), who will unveil the star in front of the Stella Adler Studio," state press notes.

She also founded the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.  For more information, visit www.stellaadler.com.
