Broadway actress Doreen Montalvo has died at the age of 56 weeks after suffering from a severe stroke, her manager has sadly confirmed.
Doreen, who appeared in the New York production of the film made famous by Robin Williams, was unable to fully recover after the huge stroke last month.
Her manager Steve Maihack said in an Instagram post: “We are devastated to hear she has left us today. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to her husband Mike Mann and their family during this time.
“Love and light to all her friends, colleagues and fans…my heart aches for us all.”
He added: “It’s been my honor and extreme pleasure to have worked with Doreen, as her manager.
“From the minute we met it was like we had been friends for years. Kindred spirits, for sure.”
Addressing Doreen directly, he said: “My favorite memory will be watching you as Gloria Fajardo in the OYF tour at the open-air outside KC Starlight theater….belting out ‘Mi Tierra’ to an audience of 8000, with the sun literally setting as if God himself was directing the most PERFECT moment for us all. It was thrilling.”
