The Broadway musical star, Marin Mazzie, who was nominated for the Tony Award, Drama Desk Award and Olivier Award for her role as Lilli/Katharine in 'Kiss Me, Kate,' and won the Outer Critics Circle Award, has passed away at the age of 57. Her husband, actor Jason Danieley, had stated that the cause of her death was ovarian cancer, regarding which he had extensively written in his blog titled 'I am woman hear me roar.'
