Adler has been credited with fostering Spielberg's interest in filmmaking. The Cincinnati native was a fan of the arts, as she herself studied at a music conservatory after learning to play piano at age 5. She most recently owned a kosher Los Angeles restaurant called the Milky Way.
In 1945, she married Arnold Meyer Spielberg and the couple went on to have four children together -- Steven, Anne, Sue and Nancy. Adler and Arnold later divorced in 1966. Her second husband, Bernie Adler, whom she wed in 1967, died in 1995 at 75. Arnold celebrated his 100th birthday this month.
