Master Maggie
Lorraine Bracco stars in director, Matthew Bonifacio’s new film, ‘Master Maggie’ which premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Stella Adler, the famed acting teacher and coach is the inspiration for the principal character played by Lorraine Bracco. Bracco’s Master Maggie is an intimidating character as she challenges her ‘students’ to give authentic performances in their sessions with her — something which is true to reality according to the director. In the film, Master Maggie works with Kenan Thompson and Brian Dennehy and then a newcomer, who begs for her help on prepping him for an audition for the TV show, Law & Order. When Master Maggie turns him down cold, he is devastated but persistent, until finally she relents. After the kind of tough, raw feedback that master coaches are known for, he finally wins her approval… but there’s a twist. Hopefully, you will soon be able to see it on iTunes, Amazon, Netflix or cable.
