Keith passed away after a courageous battle with lung cancer. An actress, Keith Martyn was born in New York on December 5, 1941, and lived in Los Angeles since childhood, graduating from University High School. She loved her family above all else.

Beautiful Keith will be sadly missed by her many friends, whose hearts and souls she touched, with her selfless giving, her spirituality, compassion, generosity, and for the grace and gusto with which she lived her life.
Funeral services will be held at the Good Shepherd Church, 505 N. Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills, 90210, on Thursday, April 23rd at 10:00AM.

My beloved friend, Keith: Among many things, you taught me how to be a compassionate mother, and to tell the truth to my daughter when pain racks my body. I get it, Keith. By setting an example, you showed me how to reassure my daughter that my irritability is not her fault, but is a result of the discomfort I feel in my own body. You're the reason Frances knows it isn't her fault that "Mommy hurts." I will miss you and love you forever. You were a true confidante. I wish I could be back in L.A. to celebrate your all-too-short but amazing life. You will live forever in the hearts of those who cherished you so very much.

I am heartbroken at the loss of my dear friend Keith. She was an inspiration, a funny and sometimes challenging incredible stong-willed woman, but always adorable and much loved. I feel truly blessed to have known her and am a better person for it. May she finally rest as she was done. My sympathies to Piper and everyone who knew and loved her. Susan Campbell
