I was fortunate to have Marilyn as my acting teacher at Barker and Young People´s. She taught me to be open & honest & creative. I am grateful for having been her student & for my friendship with Allison. Love, Heather Ross

I am so grateful for the joy of knowing my Aunt Marilyn! She was full of love, cheerfulness, and abounding in energy! She was quick-witted and her wonderful laughter was contagious! She had a real knack for making one relax and just enjoy relationships, always being respectful of others. She was extremely creativeher ability to tell a story is legendarybut she equally seemed to take just as much joy in helping others develop in their own creativitysmiling as she listened and encouraged. ...

The loss of a wise, witty and whimsical humanitarian. My deepest condolences.

I knew Marilyn in several ways, she was a friend of my mother, I was able to enjoy working with her doing children's theater at the Barker St. Playhouse while I was in high school, which became a refuge during a hard time. Thank you Marilyn for your life and support of young people.

Marilyn was a queen of the stage, queen of the story, and queen of the Twelfth Night party. How lucky I was to know her and work with her in the Spellbinders. And how fortunate I feel that I was able to visit her with Len Cabral and Susan Klein last year. She will be missed, but very, very fondly remembered.
