Auction History Result 1y2079 STELLA ADLER 8x10 still 1941 from Shadow Of the Thin Man, actress turned acting teacher! Date Sold 4/12/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Stella Adler was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. She was part of one of the most famous Jewish acting families ever, which included her parents Jacob and Sarah Adler, and her brothers Charles, Jay, and Luther. She was one of the people involved in the founding of the Group Theatre in 1931, and later married Harold Clurman, one of the founders. According to Marlon Brando, she was obsessed with becoming a traditional Hollywood leading lady, and had a nose job in 1937, and began acting under the name "Stella Ardler" in "Love On Toast", but she did not achieve the success in Hollywood she so wanted, and she pretty much quit acting in movies after that, except for a few minor roles. She became an acting teacher and was a mentor to the very young Marlon Brando, and was one of the early proponents of "The Method", a revised acting technique derived from, but different from, the method used at the Group Theatre in the 1930s. Adler passed away in 1992 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this great individual still (and a number of others) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. This is an opportunity to acquire extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Also note that we are also currently auctioning a number of sets of stills (each from one movie) from this same collection, also in individual auctions. Condition: very good to fine.
