Therese H. Courtney

My deepest sympathy on the passing of your wonderful mother Therese. She was a wonderful actress in local Pittsburgh theatre and a good friend who encouraged me when I was getting my start as a young actor. She was a lovely kind and generous person who was loved and admired by everyone she worked with. What a gem!

Therese was a kind and generous person and a good friend, volunteering to help the Guild for the Blind and at Little Lake Theatre. When my brother was dying in Tokyo, she took me aside and asked if I needed money to get there (I had it covered.) Therese played many roles on the Little Lake stage, mostly maids and cooks and secretaries, but the role in which I remember her excelling is that of Sissy in Ira Levin's VERONICA'S ROOM, a strange, dark character, quite unlike the usual light...
