}}Floria V. Lasky (April 24, 1923 – September 21 2007) was an American lawyer in the theater world, who represented some of the biggest names in American entertainment.[2]

Career

Lasky was born in the Bronx, New York City, to Polish Jewish immigrants. She was named for the eponymous heroine of the opera Tosca. She was the younger sister of American journalist Melvin J. Lasky.

She entered Hunter College at the age of 14. After graduating first in her class at New York University's law school in 1945, she joined the law firm of Fitelson & Mayers, where she would stay for the next 62 years, eventually becoming a principal partner.

Her clients over the years included Jerome Robbins, Tennessee Williams, Burl Ives, David Merrick, Gypsy Rose Lee, Jule Styne, Frederick Loewe and Carson McCullers. As their lawyer, she was one of the first women to break into the legal sphere of Broadway and beyond. Her law firm, Fitelson, Lasky, Aslan & Couture, continued to represent the estates of many of her clients even after their deaths.

She was married to David R. Altman, an advertising executive, for over 52 years. Widowed since 2000, Floria Lasky Altman died aged 84 from cancer. She was survived by two daughters, two grandchildren, Asher and Davi, and a sister Joyce Lasky Reed (married and divorced from Anatole Shub and later married to Voice of America broadcast journalist Leonard Reed (journalist).[3][4][5]
