Lee Strasberg's Film Legacy Reel

He was the chief proponent of "Method acting" from the 1920s until his death in 1982, and according to acting author Mel Gussow, "he revolutionized the art of acting and had a profound influence on performance in American theater and movies". From his base in New York, he trained several generations of theatre and film's most illustrious talents, including Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Harris, Paul Newman, Al Pacino and director Elia Kazan.

    @@yahyakhalid6160 I wish many actors today would be as good as Lee Strasberg as his students who became legends. My favorite actors in the 21st century is Joaquin Phoenix (The Master) and Daniel Day Lewis (There Will Be Blood). I know it's possible to be masterful without an acting class. I can act but not professionally as I wished to be but better than some young actors who no one acknowledges for talent but looks. I'm a heavy film buff who watches classics and even crappy films to know the difference of what to do or what not to do with making a movie.

It is all about spontaneity and preparation but Strasberg might outvie him in that department of acting because of how he accesses emotion through relaxation.

    Lee's good in the "Godfather Pt. 2". But Clift did not study with him. In his autobiography Arthur Miller says he called Lee a "charlatan". Brando and others also criticized him.
