She's an Alumnus of the #SanfordMeisnerCenter (Home of the #MeisnerTechnique) | @BingMaps #Meisner #Meissner #Meissen
Who's 'She?' Well, she could be any of their many-many students; but specifically Darallyn Kelleher. I found a good picture she could use if she were to play the role of "Miss Manners," and the website I found it on was a page of student-testimonials for The Sanford Meisner Center.
She says:
1st Year Graduate“Over the course of studying the one year program at the Meisner Center, my life has been dramatically changed. Prior to this work, I felt uncomfortable expressing certain emotions. My most challenging was anger. I felt so insecure to let that part of me show. After a lot of practice, I learned how to simply let it out. In fact, I even booked a commercial due to my ability to go into a rage in an audition (I knew I did a good job when the casting directors looked scared). As well, Meisner has helped me learn to connect with others on a deeper level. The, for lack of a better word, no “bs” mentality that we practice, has taught me a lot about people, and also a lot about myself. That’s the coolest part about this program, you’re simultaneously learning to be a more professionally advanced actor, while also learning to be a more emotionally advanced person.”

The SMC is an 'acting-school' ... not to be taken as 'a drama-school' (or a 'Liberal Arts University' like the one I spent a few years attending), but more like 'a tech-school for actors—one that aims at getting the thespians to work!'
The Meisner Technique is an American ("Living Truthfully under Imaginary Circumstances") form of Konstantin Stanislavsky's "Method" Acting.
'That name' (below-hyperlinked to a few of the student-testimonials from the Sanford Meisner Center) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The name “Meisner” is built on ancient words that mean "Person from Meissen (MEIßEN), Germany" (I looked for the meaning behind the name of that town, and only found 'the name of that town, from a Slavic language'—or 'a kind of |Porcelain produced in that town (a.k.a. |Dresden |Class)').
