"Sandra totally changed my acting. Instinctively, I was always in love with psychology and my dream life had always been very important to me. Ever since I was 15 years old I had been writing down my dreams. What's really exciting to me about Sandra's work is that it changes your life, almost on a psychic level. Now I'll get parts and in working on them, she'll say, 'Well, let's see how you're developing, as a human being.' Because the parts you're doing, it's no accident. Those parts affect your life and they kind of illustrate the map that your life is following."

Sandra Seacat
Sandra Diane Seacat (October 2, 1936 – January 17, 2023) was an acclaimed and influential acting teacher and coach, her reputation resting on a combination of high-profile success stories (such as Jessica Lange, Mickey Rourke, Marlo Thomas, Meg Ryan and Laura Dern), her perceived connection to longtime Actors Studio director Lee Strasberg, and, most recently, her pioneering efforts in acting pedagogy, blending elements of the Method, eastern meditation and Jungian dream analysis.
