Cues from the Zoo (1956)

In 1956 Inger was featured in a news story about actors learning from the movement of animals. At the time, Inger was studying under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Inger is photographed in front of the lion and leopard cages at the Central Park Zoo and comments:

Mr. Strasberg advises us to browse around the zoo studying the animals. The object is not only to learn to move like a certain animal, but to feel like one. Later we pantomime our chosen animal in front of the class, with everyone trying to guess what we are. I happen to be a pretty fair panther.

The brief article promotes Inger's upcoming performance in the Broadway play "Debut" with the author predicting that "Mr. Strasberg, Flappy the seal and even the raccoon will be proud of their pupil."
