So sad. Her writing had such humor and such insight.
I will cherish the memories of having seen Uncommon Women and and Isn't It Romantic and Heidi Chronicles and Sisters Rosensweig, and of having met her and heard such vivid stories of the plays she and Chris Durang did together at Yale. One title of theirs always makes me smile, even today: "When Dinah Shore Ruled the Earth."
She was a classy, funny lady. My heart goes out to her family, her friends and her daughter.

so sad...I still remember seeing Uncommon Women one Saturday afternoon on television in the seventies and crying and laughing. I've been a fan as long as I've been a fan of Sondheim's...and she was so funny and smart when interviewed. I'll miss her...
Rest in Peace, Wendy!

I was in a production of The Heidi Chronicles last year. A touching play.
Very saddened by this news. She was still writing, too. Who knew what treasures she had left. Doesn't matter now, though. My prayers are with her daughter, mother, and the rest of her family.
RIP Wendy.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 1:40pmThe second thing I ever directed was a short play she wrote called "Tender Offer". Such a great playwright.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 1:56pmJust here to thank Wendy for giving me my first professional credit on Broadway as the voice of the sons in An American Daughter. Her casting me led to me recognizing her work and becoming a huge fan. I will always be grateful to her and know that her work lives on.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 2:05pmA month ago in Boston, I saw the Huntington's production of The Sisters Rosensweig and really enjoyed it. It was my first introduction to the wonder that is Wendy Wasserstein.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 5:18pmI regret to say that I am completely unfamiliar with her work, though I've heard her name mentioned before. What a shame, indeed.

This kind of makes all the little spats here meaningless.
A shame that we lost Wendy & August Wilson so quickly. A true theatrical talent has passed. My condolences & prayers are with her family

That's so sad
I was in "Uncommon Women" over the summer (Mrs. Plumm). It was one of the most amazing straight shows I've ever done.
She was an incredible gift to the theatre community, and I'm sure she'll be missed.
