Her throaty singing voice and torrid Broadway performances made her a New York legend and several theater vets, including Laura Bernanti and Jersey Boys star Erich Bergen, were among the first to pay tribute to Stritch on Twitter.
In addition to her Broadway performances, Stritch played Alec Baldwin’s torturing, icy mother Colleen Donaghy on NBC’s 30 Rock.
See below who took to social media to pay tribute to Stritch.
