Ellen Geer

Of all Ellen Geer's roles, the one that earns my deepest respect is teacher. Plenty of actors perform; far fewer commit to handing the craft to the next generation. A director, screenwriter, and stage and screen actress still working past eighty, she represents the kind of artist who deepens with age rather than fading from it. Theatre rewards exactly this sort of accumulated wisdom, and her longevity reads less like survival than like cultivation. I am drawn to people who spend decades tending a single discipline; their hands grow strong, and Geer clearly has that strength.
