It is with a heavy heart that I let my family and friends know of the passing of my mother Erica Yohn.
Another light went out on Broadway Sunday evening January 27th at 6:24 pm. Her passing was peaceful, she was at home surrounded by love.
Turn the house lights low, have a memory. Pour yourself a VERY dry martini, fire up the TV, take a look at her IMDB page, pick a favorite and laugh or cry as needed.
If you feel it, share a story. I'll start.
New York City, early 1970's. Mom is on Broadway in the play Lenny, she played Lenny Bruce's mom, a stripper....I was at the theater multiple nights a week watching my mother parade around in pasties and g-string....no therapy!
She is also responsible for helping Pee Wee Herman find his bicycle in Pee Wees Big Adventure. Madame Ruby, the semi crooked pick pocketing fortune teller.
