Stella Adler and the Actor (1969) [22-minute Rare Clip]

A rare 22-minute excerpt originally from a 1969 program entitled "Stella Adler and the Actor" hosted by Bob Crane.

Adler teaches and discusses the following:
- The actor’s norm
- The importance of individuality
- Overcoming shyness through action/reaching out
- Not withdrawing from life as it’s unnatural and creates a distorted “instrument” for the actor
- Making specific selections for physical characterization and attitude based on impressions of the scene
- The development of the American actor as a national and cultural symbol
Hopefully someday the full hour-long program will be released.
