| I first saw Cynthia Harris at Baltimore's Center Stage when I was in high school. She was a wonderful Sabina in The Skin of Our Teeth. We had done the play, and she and others in the cast spoke with us at length after a matinee on a snowy Sunday. Lovely experience. About two and a half years later, I saw her in Company on B'way. She had replaced Barbara Barrie (the group that included Jane Russell and Marian Haley as Amy). A versatile actress given the rangy career she earned and deserved. RIP. Note: awaiting an obit; her colleagues noted her passing in social media. Harris was 87. |

| On TV she was a memorable Wallis Simpson in EDWARD AND MRS. SIMPSON opposite Edward Fox's Bertie. Sad to hear. |

| From what I can see, Cynthia Harris' last role on the New York stage was in Charles Busch's "The Tribute Artist" back in 2014. It played at the 59E59th Street Theater. Harris played Adriana, a wealthy elderly eccentric, who suddenly dies and her "tribute artist" cross-dressing friend Jimmy (played by Busch) steals her identity (kind of like a benign gay male version of Sante Kimes). Complications ensue as well as unexpected family bonds. Cynthia Harris was only in the first half of the first act but made a great impression creating a vivid, memorable character. She would have been about 80 at the time. Marlo Manners (Lady Barrington) |

| I remember seeing Ms. Harris in some productions at Theatre Row. I would have thought they were after 2014. The only one I could find was The Mint’s “The Lucky One” from 2017. | |

| Cynthia Harris was one of the artistic directors of the now-folded TACT. She appeared in many of their readings and productions. J |
