Cathy Gail Cahn

Cathy Gail Cahn The family and friends of Cathy Cahn are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of this talented, funny and very creative actor and writer in Los Angeles on July 6, 2009. Cathy was interested and active in many things: theater, saving the environment, and as a volunteer in political causes. She was a gifted actor whose dossier was long and impressive. She was in the S.F. Mime Troupe and the original cast of Snoopy in S.F., Boston, New York, and L.A. for which she won a Drama Logue award. She studied with Marcel Marceau's Master Class in New York and was in many theatrical, TV and film productions. She had infectious humor and was a delight to all who knew her. She had just completed a short documentary: "Sick Chick" which she wrote and starred in that was previewed on June 26th to great acclaim. It is soon to be released. She was also a lung transplant recipient 14 years ago and was awaiting a new transplant. Cathy attended Hamlin's Urban School, Antioch College and U.C. Berkeley from which she received her advanced degree. She leaves behind her mother Muriel; sister Melanie; her stepfather Aurelio Lioi; her aunt Dr. Bunny Duhl; and many cousins. There are two memorials planned: one in L.A. at the 24th Street Theater on July 25, at 3pm and another in S.F. at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family prefers donations in Cathy's name to the Screen Actors Guild Foundation at 5757 Wilshire Blvd., #124, L.A., CA 90036 or www.sagfoundation.org
