Announcement: The Passing of Judy Kerr's husband, Ron Gorow

I received this from Stuart Stone Casting of The Acting Insider:

Dear Friends,As you may have known, one of my very favorite people is Judy Kerr the author of Acting Is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles, Expanded Gold.This week her beloved husband, Ron Gorow died. My love and heart go out to Judy at this time.Here is a message that was forward to me:

Hi Everyone,On Thursday morning, my dear friend Ron Gorow, husband of my wonderful friend Judy Kerr, passed away after having a heart attack.Ron passed away peacefully in the morning while watching TV and having a sick day at home since he ha da cold. His beloved wife Judy and his favorite cat Brother were by his side.We can be grateful that Ron did not suffer at all. He lived a happy and fulfilling life that included doing work he loved and accomplishing many of his life's goals.

Most of all, he was able to share more than 25 years with Judy whom he loved so much. Together they were able to have many new adventures and support each other's professional and personal growth throughout the years.heir family is so sweet, loving and supportive,making a difficult time like this easier to bear. Needless to say, everyone is in shock and we find it hard to believe that Ron has been taken from us .There will be a celebration of his life next Tuesday,March 4th from 6 to 9pm at Vitello's. Please keep Judy in your thoughts as she goes through this difficult time. She is surrounded by love,support and caring and is doing as well as can be expected given the circumstances. She is heart broken. Love, Robin.

Judy is based in Los Angelus, so (I suspect) not as many actors know about her here in NYC as they do in L. A. -- but they should. Judy has written a terrific book, Acting is Everything (it certainty is, at least at times), she's a wonderful coach -- and a wonderful person. You can see an excerpt from one of her workshops below:
