Here is how the
NYT reported her death, which I find rather odd, in light of this Forbes article which makes it clear she had been suffering from cancer for awhile:
Wendy Wasserstein, who spoke for a generation of smart, driven but sometimes unsatisfied women in a series of popular plays that included the long-running Pulitzer Prize winner "The Heidi Chronicles," died today after a bout with lymphoma, Lincoln Center Theater announced. She was 55....
They make it sound like she got sick one weekend, and died right away. Very bizarre.
Heavy or not, she was a lovely lady and very attractive. So sad about her daughter. No father, no mother. Very very sad.
