ACTRESS Marie Lillo, who sang opera and performed in musical comedies and on television during her 60-year career, has died. She was 81.
Lillo's niece, Connie Lillo Thieman, said on Friday that Lillo died of cancer on February 1 in Los Angeles, California.
Lillo toured with Milton Berle as a member of a classical quartet who sang while he performed and she won a 1998-99 Drama League Award for the character Emma in Joe DiPietro's off-Broadway hit "Over the River and Through the Woods."
Thieman says Lillo's career started in opera. Lillo's later roles included an old hunchback psychic nun in the NBC series "Passions" and as Maggie Jones in David Merrick's "42nd Street" - her Broadway debut, her family said.
She also starred in a number of Las Vegas productions, costarred in the Texas tour of "Deathtrap" with Leslie Nielsen, and with Cesar Romero in the national tour of "The Max Factor."
"She was just a life force, on stage and off," DiPietro said.
