BroadwayWorld is saddened to report that Anna Strasberg, actress and widow of acting coach Lee Strasberg, has died at age 84. She also served as co-founder of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.

When he died in 1982, the Monroe estate was inherited by Anna. She hired CMG Worldwide to represent Monroe, and the licensing agency generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue and profits from commercial endeavors.
