Stephanie Lawrence, 50

Gone too soon, Stephanie Lawrence will remain in the hearts of many as a rare combination of classic beauty, an angelic voice, talent, and professionalism. Even though she was brilliant on the musical stage featuring in hits like ‘Evita’ and ‘Cats’ to the point of mesmerizing the audience with her riveting performances, she never indeed reached the pinnacle of stardom deserving of her acting prowess.

As a theatre artist for two decades, Stephanie had a habit of grabbing everyone’s attention while performing numbers like ‘He Whistled At Me’ on center stage, looking resplendent and effortlessly conveying varied feelings from intense longing to unbidden joy. Her untimely demise in 2000 extinguished the luminous glamor she had brought to the stage.
