Christine Dolen, the Miami Herald’s award-winning theater critic for more than 35 years and a longtime voice for the performing arts in South Florida, died Sunday morning at her Broward County home.
Dolen was 74 and had been battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive lung disease, said her husband, former Sun Sentinel arts editor John Dolen.
“When I think of her, I think not only of her talent, and her warm companionship, but her kindness,” he said. “As an arts editor myself, I was amazed to go with her to plays and see how she could write furious notes in the dark and be able to read them at the end and, in earlier days, turn a sparkling review around in 45 minutes to send it into the paper on deadline. Those two things really amazed me.”
