Lee Fierro, famous for lifting her black veil and slapping Chief Brody across the face in “Jaws,” has died, according to her friends on Martha’s Vineyard who remember her as the dedicated, vibrant matriarch of the Island’s robust theater scene.
Fierro, 91, was living off-Island in Ohio at an assisted living facility where she died from complications of COVID-19, according to Kevin Ryan, artistic director and board president for Island Theatre Workshop, a program Fierro championed during her 40-plus years on Martha’s Vineyard. During those years, Ryan estimates Fierro taught and mentored more than 1,000 children in theater.
This was the scene.
