JUDITH CHRISTOPHER Obituary

CHRISTOPHER, Judith (Leverone) Passed away September 24, 2019 at the age of 88. Born in Boston in 1931. The daughter of Louise Coffey and Louis Leverone. She attended Girls Latin School and continued on to Barnard College in NYC. Her love of theatre began at Barnard when she wrote and directed the senior year's closing show. It was met with much enthusiasm by both New York City audiences and fellow students. Upon graduation, she started her New York apprenticeship in the theater. She eventually became a theatrical agent, a personal manager and playwright. She translated/adapted the Argentinian play "Kneep" after the author Jorge Goldenburg chose her to translate and adapt the play. Two off-Broadway productions ensued and both met with excellent reception. A woman of magnetic personality that was felt by all who came into her goodness, understanding and humanity. She is survived by her devoted husband of fifty years, actor Thom Christopher. A Celebration of her Life will be held in May of 2020.

The magnificent illustrations were done by Brixton Doyle as a love letter to you ...they are magnificent . It is Published by Amazon Books as of last November and loved by many. We are now working on "Blue Mountain" a very short story you wrote when you were 12. And at the Prince School in Boston. I am so proud of you and the book is now Archived in your name at the Schlesinger Library Harvard University...and Barnard Archive , NYC. ! So proud of my beloved.

Seeing you on an old "Murder She Wrote" this morning, it reminded me to see what you might be up to. I was so sad to hear of your dear wife's passing in 2019. Several years ago, you were in Saratoga Springs, NY for "Soaps and Stars" appearing for Special Olympics. My special needs nephew, Dan was thrilled to meet "Carlo Hesser" as both his sisters watch the soap. I took some pictures and sent to you at ABC. You were so kind to Dan and wrote me a lovely thank you. I will be letting Dan know; our sympathy and prayers are with you.

Thom,
It's with great sorrow that I happened across the sorrowful news of Judith's passing. I've fond memories of you both from your visits to Pittsburgh PA as guest of honor for Tri-Con for many years. Those were great time and you and your wife's friendship and generosity were never forgotten though we've lost touch over the years. May grace and peace find you in your most sorrowful time.
