The remarkable life of a pioneering actress, wife of the illustrious Morris Carnovsky, a renowned Shakespearean actor, and a founding member of the iconic Group Theater, alongside the esteemed Clifford Odets.
Her journey, however, was not without its challenges. In 1951, she, along with her husband, faced the harsh consequences of being blacklisted after director Elia Kazan, a former colleague, testified against them before the House Un-American Activities Committee, publicly identifying them as Communists.
Despite this setback, she continued to share her passion for acting with others, teaching in New York well into her late nineties, leaving a lasting impact on the world of theater.
