Paying Tribute to Susan Malloy

Friends and family today paid tribute to the late Westport artist Susan Malloy at the Westport Arts Center. Helen Klisser During, WAC artistic director and longtime friend, described the philanthropist and art patron as vibrant and eager to try new things right up until her death in April at age 91. Klisser During showed a slide presentation of scenes from Malloy’s life, including her at age 87 sitting atop the cannons at Westport’s Compo Beach, which she had climbed as a youngster. Westport artist Miggs Burroughs (r) toasted Malloy, also a longtime friend whom he frequently accompanied to Westport events, and said she enabled him to realize his longtime ambition of becoming a male escort.
