Lee Fierro has, indeed, influenced many, many people as actress, director, writer and producer on the island -- me included. Sometime in the late 1980s, I was cast against Lee in a production of NIGHT MUST FALL that was performed at the Playhouse. In the show, as Lee's character sat in a wheelchair, my character smothered her to death with a pillow. Lee was up for performing a dramatic death (with the audience gasping at the brutality of the act), I as executioner. And as awful as her character was on-stage, Lee was, and still is, a delight -- full of encouragement and good humor. She will be missed.

Lee directed 5 other actresses and myself in an all-female production entitled "Belles" at the Cornell back in 1990 (I think. Still have the review clipping somewhere.) Can one imagine an all-female production of anything happening now without a backlash from angry males? Lee was a fearless director, as I recall, commanding me at every rehearsal to "Stop making those faces!" My part was an addled, childless ventriloquist who believed that her dummy was her son, but I had to act it "straight". It paid off. My lines got most of the laughs in that show because I managed to do it deadpan after weeks of diligent practice, practice, practice. Thanks, Lee, for bringing out the serious comedienne in me. Nobody else could ever do that, before or since. Wish I could go to the Tea for Lee to thank her, personally. Best wishes for the next phase of your creative journey. Break a leg!

6/2/17 I've met her 12 years ago at the "JawsFest" on the island, and she was nice. I wish her the very best. God bless you Ms. Fierro!

I wonder what part of Ohio she's moving to.

One of the nicest people I've ever met. I hope you still have your "Shark Is Still Working" cd, Ms. Fierro as you are an inspiration! God bless!

I Met Lee in 2015 at the 30th birthday for Jaws at the Jaws Fest on the island and she was lovely to hang out with and talk about her filming of Jaws and got lots of Jaws stuff signed by her and others.A truly magical weekend that was and i wish her well for her new chapter in life. all the best Lee David x

Of course I know her from her memorable role in Jaws (what great casting instincts Spielberg showed wanting her to play Mrs. Kintner). But additionally, I've viewed her MV Theater page and seen she's been involved with Gilbert and Sullivan productions as well as a play based on Rashomon. I'm a fan of G&S as well as Kurosawa (and Spielberg's Grandaddy of Summer blockbusters, which is one of my faves), and would love to have seen any of those productions. I wish her all the best in this new chapter in her life.

In the year 1996 we met us on a cruisship. We startet in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Rhodos, Israel, Eyghpt, Malta...For long years we had a nice and lovely friendship. Lee is a very friendly person and we think offen back to this interesty journey with her. All friends in Germany wish her all the best!

Moments ago I watched Lee's scene in Jaws. Incredibly powerful!

Just watched Jaws again. Lee's performanceas Mrs. Kitner torn my heart out.
