Summary
Dora Weissman (d. 1974) was an actor in American Yiddish theater and English-language theater, radio, television, and film. The Dora Weissman papers document her acting career; her work as a talent agent and as an acting coach; her relationships with friends, family, and colleagues; and her activities in the Jewish theatrical community. The collection dates from the 1880s to 1973, with the bulk of material dating from the 1930s to the 1960s. Materials include photographs, scripts, correspondence, event and theater programs, scrapbooks, and Weissman's notes. Materials are chiefly in English but also in Yiddish. The collection holds scripts by Weissman's father, Yiddish playwright and translator Reuben Weissman, dating between the 1880s and 1912.
