Studying with Herbert in the early 80’s she discovered the feeling of “knowing what you’re meant to do.”
His ability to see into the core of a person & what they needed, changed my life.
He like Uta held you to a standard that he was never willing to do himself.

Terrified she auditioned with Craig Bacon for Uta’s class. While studying with Uta, she discovered they both taught the same thing using different tools.
One of the brilliant things about Uta, watching how devoted she was to her craft. Being completely absorbed in her character was relatable.
Kelly talks about being what it was like being performing with Uta & Lyla Robins in a play written by Donna DeMatteo, “The Silver Fox.” Kelly’s character was the granddaughter of Uta. She mentored me with her actions & how she conducted herself.
