Dale Bell: Linny
After meeting Linny, Dale Bell became a storyteller—an actor/singer in high school, the president/producer/director of Princeton’s undergraduate Theatre Intime, a stage manager/actor/director/producer of twenty-four summer stock plays over three years at the University Players, including a performance of Ages of Man with Sir John Gielgud. In 1969, he was a producer of the movie, Woodstock. As producer/director/writer/cinematographer, he has spent more than a half century on globally-screened documentary and dramatic films. His productions have earned the Academy Award, the Peabody, two Emmys, four BAFTAs, and two Christophers. As cofounder of the Media Policy Center in Santa Monica, California, he produces social justice films that have been honored by the global Ashoka Fellowship of Social Entrepreneurs. Dale, who has six grandchildren, lives in Santa Monica with his wife, Liz.
