Trivia

Guy Stockwell

  • He helped create the Los Angeles Art Theater.

    He also traveled across the country, starring in "Seagull," "Born Yesterday" and "The Misanthrope," and he taught at the University of California, Los Angeles for two years in the masters program for acting.

    He had two sons and one daughter.
  • Stockwell also made a name for himself as an acting teacher in Los Angeles, where he also produced plays at a number of small theaters. He also taught in the master's program for acting at UCLA.
  • Guy's professional career began teaching school in Dutch Flats, California in order to support his young family. He later turned to acting.
  • His mother, Elizabeth Margaret Veronica, was a former Broadway chorine who went by the stage moniker "Betty Veronica." His parents met while performing in the musical "Earl Carroll's Vanities" (1930). She retired not long after their marriage, raised her two sons, encouraged the boys into a show business career and often took them to auditions.
  • As an acting teacher (from 1960), he patterned his work after Stanislavsky in modeling behavior, while shortcutting psychoanalytic methods used by Lee Strasberg and others in stirring up emotion and motivation.
