Joanne Linville

Comprehensive Technique

Joanne Linville worked and studied closely with Stella Adler in both New York and Los Angeles. She began her television career in the 1950’s, playing in anthology series such as Studio One, Kraft Television Theatre, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. Ms. Linville has appeared in many television series including: Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty, and L.A. Law to name a few. She is best remembered as the female Romulan captain from Star Trek: The Original Series. Ms. Linville has taught in both New York and Los Angeles.

Her class, The Power of Language, is a unique and beautiful approach to the work that stands on the shoulders of Stella’s Technique. Her book, Joanne Linville’s Seven Steps to an Acting Craft, is available on Amazon and other locations you buy books.

Our beloved friend, teacher and founder, Joanne Linville, passed away on June 20, 2021. Joanne was a force of nature. She had a deep Soul, a brilliant mind and both an outer and inner beauty that were truly awesome to behold. She was such a talented, amazingly gifted actress. She was also able to take her talent and give it away through her teaching. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have been taught by her know what an incredible, graceful, giving, yet demanding teacher she was. Her classes were a sacred place, an exciting adventure, a challenge, a chance to reach unimagined depths in the work, a life changing experience.
