Hi Anastasia, I wanted to check in with you again and give you an update. So, the first biography of Stella Adler is in the hands of one of the best literary agents in LA. I got a referral to her through a friend. But I'm now playing the waiting game. In the mean time I launched a blog dedicated to promoting the book. Will you "follow" me at http://alifeinartstellaadler.wordpress.com/? Thanks for the support!

quiet moment to read more. My fave so far is 'Hello, I Love You' and 'The Painting or the Boy'. I'm glad she chose the boy ;) This is one fabulous compilation...

Dr Suzanne Conboy-Hill said… - Glad to find you weighing into the twitter debate! I was a sceptic but came around pretty quickly when the penny dropped - use it or lose out. It's the same as email v letters, downloads v cds, hard copy exclusive journals v open access online publications. Grab it and make it work for you or it will certainly freeze you out. Nice to know you!
