Dorothy Silver, the 'grande dame' of Cleveland theatre, noted for her talent, charm, grace and compassion, once said of herself, 'I've been letting myself grow old for years. I'm very confident in my age. Also, it helps me be competitive in getting many stage and film roles, since so many older actresses try to take years off their age.'
Silver was a winner of the Cleveland Arts Prize, and was involved with Karamu House for 21 years as an actor, assistant director, and then a resident guest director. She also served as the cultural arts director at the former Jewish Community Center on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights for 12 years.
