CAROL Sutton, who was known for many projects, including her role on Steel Magnolias has died at the age of 76 due to Covid.
New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell confirmed the late star's passing. She released a statement that read: "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.
