Lynn Kellogg, who starred in the original 1968 Broadway production of the musical “Hair,” died Nov.12 in St. Louis, Missouri. She was 77. According to her publicist, the cause of death was COVID-19, the New York Times reported. Her husband, John Simpers, said she reportedly got infected recently at a large theater gathering in Branson, Missouri, at which most attendees were maskless. “She had a non-life-threatening Leukemia, so that was the big problem when she got COVID,” Simpers told KTVI Fox 2 in St. Louis. “Coupled with that, Leukemia is disastrous.” “She is probably one of the most modest people I’ve ever met,” John said of his wife, who played the “Hair” character Shiela. “She knew a lot of people. I was five hours on the phone on Saturday. Five hours. People calling me, people upset, just all over the place, all over the country.
