The Life Celebration for Marjorie Nelson will be Monday starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Seattle Rep's Leo K Theatre at Seattle Center.
Nelson, a long time Eastlake resident, actress and activist, died Feb. 12 at her home on Franklin Avenue. Nelson played on stages all across the U.S. and was one of the founding members of the Seattle Rep in 1963. She and her first husband, actor Howard da Silva, were blacklisted during the Communist witch hunts of the 1950s.
She was the widow of noted Seattle architect Victor Steinbrueck.
Nelson's daughters, Judith and Rachel, have been collecting stories, photos and video for the Life Celebration. It's probably not to late to send them your memories. You can call Judith at 206-524-6699 or email them at marjorienelsonactor@gmail.com.
