STELLA!: MOTHER OF MODERN ACTING
Book ID/图书代码： 05793014B67662
English Summary/英文概要： Arthur Miller decided to become a playwright after seeing her perform with the Group Theater. Marlon Brando attributed his acting to her genius as a teacher. Theater critic Robert Brustein calls her the greatest acting teacher in America. At the turn of the 20th centuryby which time acting had hardly evolved since classical GreeceStella Adler became a child star of the Yiddish stage in New York, where she was being groomed to refine acting craft and eventually help pioneer its modern gold standard: method acting. Stellas emphasis on experiencing a role through the actions in the given circumstances of the work directs actors toward a deep sociological understanding of the imagined characters: their social class, geographic upbringing, biography, which enlarges the actors creative choices. Always onstage, Stellas flamboyant personality disguised a deep sense of not belonging. Her unrealized dream of becoming a movie star chafed against an unflagging commitment to the transformative power of art. From her Depression-era plays with the Group Theatre to freedom fighting during WWII, Stella used her notoriety as a tool for change. For this book, Sheana Ochoa worked alongside Irene Gilbert, Stellas friend of 30 years, who provided Ochoa with a trove of Stellas personal and pedagogical materials, and Ochoa interviewed Stellas entire living family, including her daughter Ellen; her colleagues and friends, from Arthur Miller to Karl Malden; and her students from Robert De Niro to Mark Ruffalo. Unearthing countless unpublished letters and interviews, private audio recordings, Stellas extensive FBI file, class videos and private audio recordings, Ochoas biography introduces one of the most under recognized, yet most influential luminaries of the 20th century.

Awards/获奖情况：辛娜•奥柯于南加利福尼亚大学修得非小说及剧本创作双学位硕士文凭，因为专业人士都是通过实践而非学习获得，因此其意义不甚巨大。作为墨西哥裔美国人的第二代，她努力学习西班牙语，使得自己能够更好地融入家庭。
作为一名电影集剧院艺术的爱好者，奥柯小姐在斯黛拉•阿德勒学院奖上开创了一幕剧艺术节，并执导了其自己的一幕剧“巨作”。2012年时，她协助成立了西部自由剧院，并参与了《莎拉的战争》的初期制作。奥柯小姐即将问世的作品《斯黛拉！：现代演艺之母》是第一部关于斯黛拉•阿德勒的传记书籍。
此外，奥柯还在各类文学期刊杂志上出版诗歌及文章。她还为许多在线网站，如SATON及CNN等进行撰稿。奥柯是一名自由职业者，主要从事编辑和写作，定期向Levantine书评和获奖网站TheNextFamily供稿。如果每顿都能吃上玉米面豆卷，作者本人一定会非常兴奋。
