Family
Adler was married three times, first to Sophia (Sonya) Oberlander, then to Dinah Shtettin (later Dinah Feinman) and finally to Sara Adler, who survived him by over 25 years.
His and Sonya's daughter Rivkah (Rebecca) died at the age of 3. Sonya died from an infection contracted while giving birth to their son Abram in 1886. Abram's son Allen Adler was, among other things, the screenwriter of Forbidden Planet.
While still married to Sonya, he began an affair with Jenny "Jennya" Kaiser, with whom he had a son, stage actor Charles Adler, born 1886.
He had a daughter, Celia Adler with Dinah.
His six children by his third wife, actress Sara Adler, included the well-known actors Luther and Stella Adler and the lesser-known Jay, Frances, Julia, and Florence.
His sister Sarah/Soore Adler and seven children emigrated to New York in 1905. His niece, Francine Larrimore, Sarah's daughter, became a Broadway actress, who also appeared in films.
