Carol Sutton, star of stage and screen including 1989’s Steel Magnolias, has died aged 76 following a long battle with coronavirus.
The actress’s death was confirmed by New Orleans’ mayor, LaToya Cantrell, who shared a tribute to the star.
Sutton, who had starred as Nurse Pam in Steel Magnolias, as well as Queen Sugar, Ray, Monster’s Ball and The Pelican Brief, had been battling the effects of Covid-19 for several months, having been hospitalised in New Orleans.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell wrote: ‘Carol Sutton was practically the Queen of New Orleans theater, having graced the stages across the city for decades.
‘The world may recognize her from her performances in movies and on TV – whether it’s Treme or Claws, or Runaway Jury or Queen Sugar – but we will always remember her commanding stage presence, her richly portrayed characters and the warm heart she shared with her fellow cast and crew in productions such as 4000 Miles and A Raisin in the Sun.
‘May she rest in God’s perfect peace.’
