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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“With all the attention paid to your new baby, it’s easy for your own feelings and needs to get lost in the shuffle. Although all parents engage in some self-sacrifice for their children, keep in mind that your goal isn’t just to raise a happy, healthy child. You want that child to be part of a happy, healthy family as well.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didn’t really choose it. It was pushed on us. It—whether it be Raffi videos, French lessons, or the complete works of Brazelton—might be just right for you and your particular child. But it is only right when you feel that it is. You know your family best; you decide.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
“My Friend is not of some other race or family of men, but flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. He is my real brother.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
