  • For the first time in its 75-year history, the Actors Studio, where generations of actors have studied the art of performance, has opened its doors to outside cameras to capture a session in which members hone their craft. Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz talks with Studio co-presidents and Oscar-winners Ellen Burstyn and Al Pacino, members Carol Kane and Justin Marcel McManus, and author Isaac Butler about the past, present and future of the heralded training ground and acting community that has revolutionized the business.

    When mom auditioned there, she brought my brother, sister and I, but it was only once or twice. This was around 1958 or 1959, and I was only five years old. I am pretty certain that Lee discouraged mom from bringing us, he probably didn't want children wandering around the place while classes were in session. I still don't know whether mom passed her auditions. She probably did, she was a great actress, but chose raising us three children over pursuing an acting career. The exterior and interior shots of the Studio building in this story bring back a flood of memories. We were living in a walk- up "railroad flat" in Brooklyn, mom would take the IRT to Manhattan to classes. One day as autumn was approaching, mom packed up the place and took us all back to Buffalo, never letting us know whether she was accepted as a member. As children, we weren't concerned with such adult affairs, all we knew is that we got our mommy back. Mom passed in 2009 at the age of seventy seven. She became a businesswoman, but also had time to do a tiny bit of acting with two troupes in Buffalo.

    This is the kind of story we will never see on Fox News. I don't understand why they concentrate their subject matter on areas that will anger, frustrate and divide us. These insights into the Actors' Studio helped me understand just a little bit more the WHY of my admiration of certain films and the actors in them. This school teaches one form of acting... but it is a form which can be customized to whatever the actor student wants it to be. Pretty marvelous when you think about it. They can learn the way they want to learn.
    Thanks, CBS, for continuing to bring us stories like this one.

The reason is profit motive. Stories like this aren't exciting enough to generate large audiences. I've been a fan of CBS Sunday Morning for several decades now. It sets my brain up for what's to come in the next week. Fox News does not do that. It tells you what to think... even if it's a lie.

    They always get this wrong. The "Method." There are two types:
    The Lee Strasberg "imaginary stimuli/your emotional memory" (Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn) and the Stella Adler "learn as much about your character as you can" (Robert DeNiro, Daniel Day Lewis).
    It all goes back to Stanislavsky.

    • @seenasoltani1808

    Personally, I used to watch "inside the Actors Studio" from the past on TV. But the series itself had done episodes where I had regarded them as MISTAKES. Like where NON-ACTORS such as Sir Elton John, Barbara Walters, and probably others from years ago, were the particular examples. I even remembered FILMMAKERS like Francis Ford Coppola who were the guests on that series as well. In addition, I was also outraged when the late filmmaker, and all-around SNITCH, Elia Kazan, was one of the early founders of The Actors Studio. At least, I am glad that some of the great actors of the past, like Marlon Brando, HATED and NEVER forgave Kazan for his betrayal of some of his colleagues from Hollywood and elsewhere in America, too.

    A couple have also commented on this, but it IS noticeable that Marlon Brando's name is prominent in this segment, BUT HE WAS NEVER part of the Actors Studio...his training came from Stella Adler, who taught the Stanislavsky Method that Actors Studio borrowed from so heavily. To put him at the front of this would suggest to the viewer that he was one who learned and worked there. But in truth he thought Lee Strasberg was an egotistical idiot.

The only thing that would make it special to me is if this is a place exclusively designed for already famous people to have continual training. Then yes, that's cool. Bc it's hard to be able to practice when there's no privacy.

    LOL.... Marlon Brando was not a great actor, and the method is sometimes useless and even a problem on set for directors and crew, even that "Stella" moment is actually as fake as possible...., even famous exquisite, excellent actresses like Merry Streep DO NOT use the method... the method is for people without creativity or natural talent, actors who cannot easily become the character from one moment to the next and therefore must stay in it, also for actors without real technique and so they need to live the character in order to perform it.
