Dateline: 15th January, 2004 Uta Hagen American actress Uta Hagen has died at the age of 84. In a professional acting career which began at the age of 18 in 1937 as Ophelia, she became one of the great names of American theatre, not only as an actress but also as a teacher. A year later she played Nine in The Seagull on Broadway - an incredible start for a young actress. She is best known for creating the part of Martha in Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf on Broadway, which earned her her second Tony. She won her first in 1951 for Odets' The Country Girl. She wrote two books, Respect for Acting (1973) and A Challenge for the Actor (1991), and taught alongside her second husband, Herbert Berghof, in the Herbert Berghof Studio, from 1947. Among her many alumni are Geraldine Page, Jason Robards, and Matthew Broderick. She suffered a stroke in 2001 and had not been well since then. She died in her Manhatten home on Wednesday.
