(DailyChive.com) – Actor and publicist Maxie Solters, who followed in the footsteps of her father and grandfather in the entertainment industry, died last week in Los Angeles at the age of 37.
On Thursday, Aug. 15, Solters died suddenly and no cause of death has yet to be disclosed. The news was first publicly announced by Scoop Marketing, a public relations firm founded by Solters’ father, Larry Solters, which specializes in marketing and public relations for all areas, including product launches, tour press, special events, entertainment businesses, and more. According to that announcement, the young publicist’s death “was unexpected.”
Scoops Marketing stated that Solters had “unwavering optimism” and a “kind heart,” allowing her to tough “the lives of many.” They said she left behind a “legacy of love and kindness.” Journalist Lÿndsey Parker called the news “absolutely horrible” and said Solters “was special” and that she would be missed.
Solters was born on March 22, 1987. She grew up in Sherman Oaks, California, and went on to graduate with a BA in Theatre from the University of Southern California. She worked in the field of television and film casting in Hollywood, and also as an actor and a member of SAG. Solters created and produced her own comedy web series and appeared in theater productions.
In 2012, she joined her father’s company and started representing high-profile clients. Among those clients were the Music Forward Foundation, the Kia Forum, and the Hollywood Bowl. Scoops Marketing also represented musicians like Dead & Company and John Mayer as well as football teams such as the Eagles. Aside from her father’s involvement in the business, her grandfather, Lee Solters, was also well-known in the showbiz world and represented mega stars like Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Barabara Streisand.
Solters was also a coordinator for the One Billion Rising campaign and worked with V-Day, both of which strive to end domestic violence and other violence against women. She is survived by her father and her stepmother; Debra Graff, her mother; her aunt and cousin; her dog named Pookie; and Dim Dobrin, who was her lifelong partner.
To honor her, the family is requesting that mourners donate to One Billion Rising in Solters’ name and memory.
