Elliott and Murphy also have a daughter together named Darmia Hope; you should amend the BWW obituary to reflect that. Sad to hear; he was a talented (and very kind) man.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I directed him in a staged reading in the 1980's A very nice, elegant kind of guy, he gave the play we were reading his whole attention. Also remember his performance as a drug dealer in a play at Ensemble Studio Theater in the seventies---very strong. I am really saddened by his passing.

This is so sad. I just saw him and his lovely family a few weeks ago. My heart goes out to them.

Oh wow. I just caught this news. My heart goes out to Donna, their children and their respective families for this loss.
Shawn was a talented man. He was a fellow borinqueño who made us proud.
May he rest in peace.

Can anybody confirm that he has actually died?
BWW seems to have deleted the story, and I can't find it reported anywhere else.
Thanks.

I think this might not be true, as his Wikipedia entry does not include his death, I can't find an obituary for him via Google, and the BWW article doesn't come up via the link in the first post.
He played a judge for quite a few episodes of the original "Law and Order". Seeing him there, I always wished I could see him in a larger part.

It's odd that this hasn't been reported any where else.

Beyond this not appearing anywhere else, the BWW article reporting it has also been deleted.
Is this a second Shawn Elliott death hoax?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I know a friend of the family and Shawn has indeed passed. The family may wish to keep the obituary private until after the memorial.

This is inaccurate information. He also had two sons from his first marriage. Roland and Russell Santiago. Roland passed away in 2015. Russell is alive and lives in CA with his fsmily. He had other grandchildren as well.
