Colleagues remember a woman who never treated the chorus as background or the crew as invisible. Onstage, she could flip from wickedly funny to devastatingly tender in a heartbeat; offstage, she was the one offering a hug, a joke, or a quiet word of courage in the wings. Her recent work in Leopoldstadt, embodying loyalty and loss, now feels painfully prophetic. Though the curtain has fallen on her life, the roles she shaped – and the people she lifted – will keep her name spoken softly in theaters for years to come.
