LOS ANGELES (AP) - Gretchen Wyler, a veteran Broadway actress who enjoyed a second career on television and was a leading animal rights activist, died Sunday. She was 75.
Wyler died at her home in Camarillo, Calif., of complications from breast cancer, the Humane Society of the United States said in a statement.
"The humane movement has lost one of its brightest stars," said Humane Society President and CEO Wayne Pacelle. "Gretchen Wyler devoted 40 intense years to protecting animals, and the cause gained so much ground during that time because of her extraordinary achievements and advocacy — in the media, in law-making, and in raising public consciousness."
