Satie changed her Jewish-sounding surname as she advanced in her career from a dancer at the Martha Graham School to a Stella Adler-trained actress. She played the role of Chava, Tevya’s daughter, in national tours of “Fiddler on the Roof,” and had a recurring role as Ida Pfeiffer in the TV hit “The Wonder Years.” She balanced her theatrical endeavors with teaching at California State Northridge, as a lecturer in the English department. Last year, Satie won the university’s Faculty Exceptional Creative Accomplishment Award in recognition of “Silent Witnesses.”
