Maude Adams (1872–1953): serendipity in early career on stage

Abstract

Prominent performing artists of the past merit the attention of the creative arts psychotherapies. Stage actresses and actors thrive on interpreting literature works, and audiences greatly enjoy their successful performances. Although it is known that serendipity provides performing artists with unexpected opportunities for leaps in career advancement, the career literature remains silent. For the present exploration of the role of serendipity in the early career path of Maude Adams, the serendipity variable is added to Kogan's new working model for career development of performing artists. Historic data reveal serendipitous events, since infancy, in all stages of Adams’ early career.
