Astorino Commemorates Westchester Actress and Activist Ruby Dee

“It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to one of our own. A barrier-breaking and wonderfully talented actress, Ruby Dee was blessed with beauty inside and out. It was a beauty that belied a steely grit and determination that Ruby used to fight for causes she cared deeply about. She was never as Theodore Roosevelt would say the ‘cold and timid soul’ who would stand on the sidelines. Whether it was acting or activism, Ruby Dee always stood tall and proud on center stage. As she exits the stage we give her one last round of hearty applause for a life well lived.  God Bless.”
