Harman Estelle

American acting coach in Los Angeles who began as an acting instructor at UCLA in the 1950s, then was hired by Universal Studios as Head of Talent to groom their stable of film actors, which included Rock Hudson, Bill Bixby, Tony Curtis, Myrna Hansen, and Audie Murphy. As the contract years ended in Hollywood, she started her own school — the Estelle Harman Actors Workshop. It operated two theatres, an on-camera class and offered a curriculum that met federal requirements for financial aid. The school closed shortly before her death on 30 April 1995 at age 72 in Hollywood. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
