This is the first part of my series on the life of Linda “Lee” Strasberg, an American actor and director who was born on July 28th 1912 in New York City. She was raised by her father, who was an actor and stage manager at Broadway’s Metropolitan Opera House. As a child she attended acting classes at the Actors Studio in New York City where she became friends with Lee Strasberg’s daughter, Marilyn Monroe…

Linda “Lee” Strasberg was born on February 9, 1934, in Brooklyn, New York. She was the youngest of three children born to Lester and Gretchen (née Schlechter) Strasberg, both of whom were immigrants from Austria-Hungary. Lee’s father was a postal worker who had changed his name from “Strassberg” to “Strasberg” because he wanted to become an American citizen. Lee’s mother was a housewife who battled depression and suffered from various mental illnesses throughout her life.

Lee Strasberg’s formative years were spent in the Great Depression era. Her family moved to the Lower East Side in Manhattan when she was seven years old. In addition to serving as the primary caregiver for her younger brother, David, and older sister, Susanne (the latter of whom would eventually change her name to Susan Strasberg), Lee provided emotional support for her father after her mother attempted suicide by jumping out of their third-floor apartment window on two occasions.

Once they settled in Manhattan, the Strasbergs lived above a candy store at 54 East Third Street (now a Starbucks coffee shop). The family also lived briefly at 10 East 77th Street in Manhattan, near Central Park before moving to 338

Linda “Lee” Strasberg was born on May 4, 1934 in England, the daughter of legendary actress and director Lee Strasberg. She attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and began acting professionally in 1964, starring in a production of Shakespeare’s Richard III.

Her first film role was in the 1966 film The Lion in Winter as a young Catherine of Aragon. She next appeared as Elektra in a 1968 production of Electra at the New York Shakespeare Festival, which was directed by her father.

In 1970, she made her Broadway debut playing Ophelia to James Earl Jones’ Hamlet. She then starred as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (1971) alongside Meryl Streep and Frank Langella for the Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre. In 1972, she starred opposite Robert De Niro as Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You in a production of Christopher Durang’s play of the same name at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s National Playwrights Conference. In 1973, she again appeared with De Niro, this time appearing with him in Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge on Broadway.

In 1975 she starred opposite Al Pacino as Celia Kaye/Nora

Lee Strasberg (November 17, 1901 – February 17, 1982) was an American actor, director and acting teacher. He co-founded, with directors Harold Clurman and Cheryl Crawford, the Group Theatre in 1931, which was hailed as “America’s first true theatrical collective”. The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute has its own sets of entrance criteria required for admission into their program. Former student Elia Kazan directed James Dean in East of Eden, for which Kazan and Dean were nominated for Academy Awards. As a student, Dean wrote that Actors Studio was “the greatest school of the theater [he’d] ever been to”. Playwright Tennessee Williams, writer of The Glass Menagerie, said of Strasberg’s actors: “They act from the inside out. They communicate emotions they really feel. They give you a sense of life.” One acting technique he developed was method acting; it is a technique based on the emotional memory of the actor.

Many actors who were trained at the Actors Studio have had prolific careers on stage and screen; three that were trained there won Academy Awards — Joanne Woodward (The Three Faces of Eve), Sissy Spacek (Coal Miner’s Daughter), and Robert De Niro (Raging Bull).
