Young Actors Space (YAS) was established in 1979 by Diane Hill Hardin and Nora Eckstein in Los Angeles. This team was the first in the entertainment industry to establish a performing arts academy for young, working and aspiring actors.[citation needed] It is well known for being one of the best acting schools for youth in Los Angeles.[citation needed] Patrick Day took over the school in 2007 with his associate Gilmer McCormick.
