Uta Hagen

Uta Hagen was an actress and acting teacher.

She was born in Göttingen in Germany and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. She studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Primarily noted for stage roles. Because of blacklisting, she had more limited output in film. She married José Ferrer in 1938; they divorced in 1948. They had one daughter. She taught at HB Studios, a well-known New York City acting school, starting in 1957, and married its co-founder, Herbert Berghoff, on 25 January 1957.
