Days of Our Lives

General Hospital

In Memoriam
Jerry Adler, who served as a stage manager from 1983-85 on Search for Tomorrow and from 1986-92 on Santa Barbara before becoming a successful actor, passed away on August 23 in New York City at the age of 96. Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, GH; ex-Julia, SB) told Digest, “Jerry was the Broadway show’s know-it-all that knew everything as Broadway’s most respected stage managers during the best of the best on Broadway in its heyday. He saw it all. The best of the best as well as the worst and best. How he ended up as our stage manager in Santa Barbara was just all of our great luck. I knew he knew and would always look to him for advice & approval. If I got the thumbs up from Jerry, I was good to go. Jerry was who we went to for hilarity and grounding. He knew and we knew it.”
In 1993, Adler played Paul House in Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery but he was probably best known for his role as Herman “Hesh” Rabkin in The Sopranos. He also played Fire Chief Sidney Feinberg in Rescue Me, Howard Lyman in The Good Wife and again in The Good Fight and many more guest appearances on prime-time series. On Broadway, he began his career behind the scenes, directing a revival of My Fair Lady in 1976 as well as other productions. In 2000, he returned to Broadway as an actor, appearing in Taller Than a Dwarf as Mr. Miller and in 2015, he appeared in Fish in the Dark as Sidney Drexel.
