🎭 Remembering a Legend: The Remarkable Jerry Adler 🎬
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the beloved Jerry Adler, who passed away at the age of 96. Many will remember Jerry as Hesh Rabkin from the acclaimed series *The Sopranos* and Howard Lyman from *The Good Wife*. His contribution to television will never be forgotten.
Before gracing our screens, Jerry spent decades influencing Broadway from behind the scenes, working on 53 productions as a stage manager, producer, and director. His journey started thanks to a little family nepotism, which he fondly acknowledged. Coming from a family deeply embedded in entertainment, Jerry was destined for showbiz!
🎭 His family roots ran deep in Jewish and Yiddish theatre. Jerry’s father, Philip, managed prolific Broadway productions, and his cousin Stella Adler became a legendary acting teacher. Talk about a family legacy!
After a Broadway run, Jerry took a leap of faith and ventured into the world of television in California, showcasing his versatility. From soap operas to TV dramas, his career surged, proving that it’s never too late to chase new dreams. Jerry often described his career as a “twilight of a mediocre career,” but we know it was anything but mediocre! Over three decades in front of the camera, Jerry’s charm and talent captivated audiences across the globe.
💫 Jerry’s life reminds us that it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves and chase new dreams. Let’s cherish his memories, as both a stage and screen star, that he leaves behind. RIP, Jerry Adler. Your legacy continues to inspire. 🎶
