It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Bette Jane Cohen, director, producer, and editor of The Spirit in Architecture: John Lautner<\/a>, which jumpstarted increased interest in Lautner’s work in 1990 that continues to this day. She died peacefully yesterday, October 19, 2016.<\/p>\n

Bette was an editor on many films<\/a>\u00a0and has won many awards. At the time of her death she had been attending screenings around the world of the 25th-anniversary edition of The Spirit in Architecture, to wide acclaim.<\/p>\n

In 2001, Bette wrote about the making of the film. The Foundation edited and printed it. You can read her fascinating story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a superb filmmaker, Bette was a genuine friend to us all on the Foundation Board of Directors and served on the Foundation Advisory Board since its inception. She was always ready with a smile and gave her precious time to us when we needed it.<\/p>\n

Bette’s death is a great loss to the Foundation, to the architecture world, and to the world of her many friends. Services will be held Friday, October 21, 2016, at the Hillside Memorial Park<\/a> and Mortuary at 6001 Centinela Ave, Los Angeles, 90045.<\/p>\n
