Ellen B. Davis

Ellen was one of my favorite teachers of all time. I was just recalling something I quote from her often when I searched and found her obituary. While I didn't go into Theater, I passed on the love she inspired to my youngest daughters who did. I've done a lot of public speaking and Instruction throughout my career, and sometimes I still hear Ellen saying "share your voice". I learned about onomatopoeia from her love of the word "specificity". And I'll always remember "drama is for the man...

Just came across this while scrolling through. What memories! Ellen Davis perpetuated talent her whole life. I know she awakened something in me. At 68 years old, I still remember every line and every motion from my first starring role in North Miami Beach high School. I played the lion in Androcles and the lion. We toured the hotels all over Miami Beach during winter break and played for the children on holiday at those hotels. It was the most exciting theater experience I ever had. I then...

Missing your humor and sparkle

Although there are many retired teachers living here at the Grandview Condo, there are only three of us that I know of who taught at Miami Dade North Campus. Ellen was among the finest! When you´re retired, every day is Saturday, so...For the past 20 years, we meet at the condo pool & bot tub from time to time; she always had a book in hand and a smile on her face. She was a true intellectual and inspiration. The 1/2 page article in the Miami Herald was fabulous and reminded us of how...

It was an honor to work with and support her teaching program at NWSA. I worked there in the 90's and enjoyed so much the other employee's and their special talents. Go With God.

Larry and Karen, I was startled and sorry to see your mother´s obituary today, although fortunately she had a long life. I was a footnote therein, but I liked her very much and remember her well. (Hey, where did all those grandchildren come from?) Wishing you the best during these challenging times....

I´m so sorry to hear about her passing. I remember her so well. I had her for Drama in the early 80s . She was a great teacher and her class was so much fun and she was so talented and so smart. My Condolences to her family

Ellen was a blessing and a gift to all of us. All these years later, the image of her smiling, and memories of her passionate and loving guidance for all of us students is forever etched in my mind as a sublime model. I have always, and will continue to, cherish what she brought to our lives. Love and thanks to her family for sharing her with us. Cheers and have fun up there with Uta, Stanislavsky and all the other theater teaching greats who had been awaiting your presence, Ellen!

I just heard the news and could not stop myself from crying. I've been wanting to get in touch and show you that I turned out okay just like you said I would. Thank you for believing in me when I couldn't believe in my self. May you rest in peace and always dance with joy in your heart. You'll forever live in my heart.
