Rebecca Luker (April 17, 1961 – December 23, 2020) was an American actress, singer, and recording artist noted for her "crystal clear operatic soprano" and for maintaining long runs in Broadway musicals over the course of her three decade long career.[1][2] The New York Times compared her to actresses such as Barbara Cook and Julie Andrews.[3] She was nominated for three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Award, and two Drama Desk Awards.[4]

Life and career[]

Luker, the daughter of Martha (Baggett), a high school treasurer, and Norse Doak Luker, Jr., a construction worker, was born in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up in the suburb of Helena.[1][5][6] She attended the University of Montevallo, earning a BA in music, taking a year off in 1984 to perform in Sweeney Todd as Johanna Barker at the Michigan Opera Theatre.[7]

Luker's Broadway debut was in The Phantom of the Opera in the role of Christine (1988–91). She was originally an understudy for principal actress Sarah Brightman and her alternate Patti Cohenour. Luker later took over the role after Brightman and Cohenour left the show.[1] Subsequent Broadway roles include Lily in The Secret Garden (1991–93),[8] Magnolia in Show Boat (1994–97,[9] the first actress to be nominated for a Tony Award for this role[citation needed]), Maria in The Sound of Music (1998–99),[10] Marian in The Music Man (2000–2001),[11] and Claudia in Nine (2003).[12] She played the role of Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins from 2006[13] to 2010.[13] She later replaced Victoria Clark as Crazy Marie/the Fairy Godmother in the Broadway production of Cinderella for an engagement that lasted from September 2013 to January 2014.[14] Luker joined the cast of Fun Home at the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway, temporarily assuming the role of Helen Bechdel from April 5, 2016 to May 22, 2016.[15]

Luker appeared Off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues,[16] Indian Summer, X (Life of Malcolm X), Brigadoon,[citation needed] Death Takes a Holiday,[16] and Can't Let Go.[17] During 2002, the Kennedy Center presented a "Sondheim Celebration"; Luker appeared in Passion as Clara.[12] She performed in the New York City Center Encores! staged concerts of The Boys from Syracuse and Where's Charley?.[citation needed] Her TV appearances include Boardwalk Empire, The Good Wife, Matlock, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and the Hallmark movie Cupid & Cate. She appeared in the 2012 film Not Fade Away.[citation needed] On January 11, 2016, Luker reprised the role of Lily in The Secret Garden at a benefit performance at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.[18]

Luker performed as a concert soloist with symphony orchestras around the world and in intimate solo settings. She performed a solo concert as part of the American Songbook Series at Lincoln Center in 2005, featuring 20 songs composed by a group of younger songwriters including Paul Loesel, Scott Burkell, Jeff Blumenkranz, Barry Kleinbort, and Joseph Thalken.[19] Her 2006 solo cabaret debut at Feinstein's at the Regency received rave reviews from New York Times and Variety as well as the Bisto award for best debut concert.[20][21] She performed in 2008 solo concert at Kennedy Center's Terrace Theatre,[22] a 2011 concert featuring the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein (again at Kennedy Center),[23] and in 2012, the "Bridge to Broadway" as part of the NYC River to River Festival and "NEW VOICES at NYU: A Celebration of Songs by NYU Musical Theatre Writers Past and Present".[24][25]

In 2001, Luker, Truman Capote, and the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird were all inducted into the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame. She also received a doctorate of fine arts, honoris causa on May 5, 2010 from her alma mater, the University of Montevallo.[26]

Personal life[]

Luker married Gregory Jbara in 1993. They divorced in 1996.[27] She married Danny Burstein in June 2000, becoming stepmother to his sons Zachary and Alexander.[28][29]

On February 9, 2020, Luker announced that she was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), having been diagnosed in late 2019.[30][31] In June 2020, she could still sing, as she hosted a livestreamed benefit for ALS.[32] However, in October, she said she had been using a wheelchair for seven months, and the disease had progressed to the point where she had "no diaphragm," thus could not speak loudly.[33]

In April 2020, Burstein contracted COVID-19 (along with several other cast members of Moulin Rouge!, in which he was starring). He was hospitalized at St. Luke's in Manhattan and recovered. Following his ordeal, Burstein wrote an account of it that was published in The Hollywood Reporter. Toward the end of that article, Burstein wrote "while I'm getting better, Rebecca has started dealing with the virus as well now. She's not been tested, but has all the symptoms to varying degrees. We are monitoring her closely."[34] Luker ultimately had a much milder case than her husband.[33]

Luker died of ALS at a hospital in Manhattan on December 23, 2020 at age 59.[35][36]
