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.
