Having seen the original Company, her rendition of Getting Married Today was one of the high points of the show.

As Amy, which is virtually actor-proof, Beth Howland gave a classic comedy performance. She was pretty funny in Alice too.
"Thank. You. God. Now explain it to HIM!"
Nailed it.

This crap is happening to often. 74 is much too young. Rats
(and yes, there will be other Companys -- but she was and will always be the definitional Amy)

The article mentioned the delay in the notice was at Beth's request, but did not go into detail about the reasoning.

The cause was lung cancer, her husband, the actor Charles Kimbrough, said, adding that she had not wanted a funeral or a memorial service.
“It was the Boston side of her personality coming out,” Mr. Kimbrough said. “She didn’t want to make a fuss.”

It is amazing that her husband was able to keep her death out of the press for 5 months! Kudos to him. RIP
