Aaron R. Frosch; Theatrical Figures Were Law Clients
Aaron R. Frosch, a theatrical-industry attorney who represented such entertainers as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, died Saturday.
Frosch, 64, died in his sleep at his home in New York City after a lengthy illness, a family member said.
Frosch graduated from Brooklyn Law School to build a practice that counted many stage and screen performers, Rex Harrison and Richard Burton among them, as clients.
It was his work for Monroe and Taylor that drew public attention. He drew up Monroe’s will and became executor of her estate after her death in 1962. He represented Taylor in her divorce from Eddie Fisher in 1964.
Frosch is survived by his wife, three daughters, and his mother. A private memorial service will be held in New York.
