Luther Adler Biography
Born: 1903
Died: December 1984
Born in New York City on May 4, 1903, Luther Adler was the product of a well-known Yiddish theatre family. His stage debut came at the age of five when he appeared in Schmendrick. Although primarily a stage actor, Adler's film credits contain character portrayals that are both potent and noteworthy, as evidenced in the 1951 film The_Magic_Face, where he plays an impersonator who murders Hitler and then takes his place. Here Adler shines in what would otherwise be an average picture. His first movie role came in 1937 with Lancer_Spy and continued over the next four decades, with credits in some two dozen films. His sister Stella is well-known as an acting teacher, and his brother Jay starred in occasional films until his death in 1978. Adler was married to Sylvia_Sidney from 1938 to 1947. Other memorable films include: D.O.A. (1950); The_Desert_Fox (1951); The Last Angry Man (1959); Voyage of the Damned (1976). Rovi
