The actor who delivered one of the most iconic speeches in scifi moviedom, and his wife, a renowned dancer and performer; the charismatic driving force behind one of the most successful shows ever to run on the USA channel, and the man currently sharing a screen with The Rock on his new hit HBO series — what do they have in common? A mentor from UMass Theater.
Bill Pullman '80G (Independence Day, Sleepless in Seattle, Spaceballs) and his wife Tamara Hurwitz Pullman '81 (Healing Wars), Jeffrey Donovan '91 (Burn Notice, Fargo, Sicario), and Rob Corddry '93 (The Daily Show, Childrens Hospital, Ballers) all fondly remember Professor Emeritus Ed Golden as critically important to their development as actors. So grateful are they that they have created a scholarship in Golden's honor.
The brand-new Ed Golden Scholarship offers a cash award to gifted undergraduate acting students enrolled in the University of Massachusetts Department of Theater. This scholarship is the first and only given out by the department specifically to support performers. We are tremendously grateful to these individuals for creating this opportunity for our students, and we want to build on their generosity by growing the scholarship further.
Please help us by making a donation to the Ed Golden Acting Scholarship during #UMassGives!
Thank you!
