  • Obituary

    Viviana Terryl Reese, a multi-talented child prodigy known for her contributions to the arts as an actress, singer, model, tap dancer, artist, and painter, passed away tragically on October 21, 1962, at the young age of 13. Born on April 8, 1949, in Brooklyn, New York City, Viviana's life was prematurely cut short due to a drowning incident in a hotel pool in New York City. From 1952 until her untimely demise, Viviana dazzled the world with her artistic and performing talents. Her artwork, particularly her masterpieces created during this period, earned her critical acclaim. Viviana was also a celebrated film actress, starring in numerous films produced at Kaufman Astoria Studios for Paramount Pictures from 1955 to 1962. Despite her short life, Viviana left an indelible mark on the entertainment and arts community. Her hobbies in these fields not only showcased her inherent talents but also her passion and dedication to her crafts. Viviana is survived by her aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Veronica and Humphrey, her sister, Jayne, and her brother, Sid, who all tragically lost their lives in the same drowning incident that claimed her life. Her funeral service is scheduled for November 3, 1962, at Flushing Cemetery, where family, friends, and admirers of her work can come together to celebrate her life and achievements. In memory of Viviana, her final painting "Rain and Rainbow" and her last film "Music Gal of Dolls Hospital," which is set to release on December 7, 1962, were donated to the Viviana Reese Arts and Entertainment Studio. This institution, founded by her mother on April 17, 1952, continues to support and nurture artistic talent, honoring Viviana's legacy. Contributions to support this cause can be made to further her vision and impact in the arts.
