Judy Solomon, the former six-term president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, died Friday morning at 91 years old.
No cause of death or location was given by the HFPA, which confirmed the death. “We are incredibly saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Judy Solomon.
The loss is profound, but we take this opportunity to celebrate her incredible achievements in helping evolve the Golden Globes into the world-spanning award it is today,” said Helen Hoehne. “We are grateful for her support and leadership during her 67 years of membership with the HFPA.” Born in Romania and raised in Israel, Solomon eventually moved to the United States, where she started a family and built her career in journalism.
She became an entertainment feature writer for various publications in Israel. Solomon joined the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1956 and became involved in many changes to the Golden Globes, including the introduction of Dick Clark to the awards, a long-term association producing the award show.
