From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Born Lucille Wadler in New York City on December 16, 1900, Lucille Lortel was originally an actress in the 1920s (she once recollected comparing breast sizes with Helen Hayes), who went on to become an Off-Broadway theater producer and empresaria with the help of a wealthy husband. Her age was a well-kept mystery until shortly before she died.
It is for her that the Lucille Lortel Theatre on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village is named.
She died of natural causes at the age of 98 on April 4, 1999 in New York.
