In Memoriam: LAUREN SCOTT
May, 2019
From LPTW Member & Travel Committee Co-Chair Mary Miko
The LPTW Travel Committee mourns the loss of Lauren Scott (Cascio), who chaired this committee since its inception, along with the recently deceased Dorothy Olim.
Both women combined their love of theatre and a desire to learn about the cultures of women in
other parts of the world.
In addition to the League, Lauren was a long-standing member of SAG, AFTRA, AEA and the New York Film Society. Many a rainy day she could be found with her dear companion, Ed Schultz, in a dark theater, critiquing a movie. Sometimes, all day long.
Aside from acting, her real passion was singing. She was a member of the New Amsterdam Singers since 1996. Once again combining travel with her career, they spent many summers singing across Europe and the Eastern block countries. She began this association as a chorus member, which segued into an administrative position, and eventually sat on their board until her passing.
The League’s January London trip was an annual event for Lauren and she encouraged many members to fly with her across the pond.
The Sardi’s Dinner Group which met once a month on a Tuesday was a regular event she always looked forward to.
A memorial service will be held in the fall. Information and details to follow.
