COVID-19. The news was confirmed by New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell.«Carol Sutton was practically the Queen of New Orleans theater, having graced the stages across the city for decades,» LaToya said in a statement. «The world may recognize her from her performances in movies and on TV — whether it's or, or or — 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.»Sutton began her acting career in the late 1960s in Dashiki Project Theatre productions.
