A year ago today, we took to the streets and celebrated the life of Laura Schweigman in that way that New Orleanians do. A native Baltimorean, she was captured by the Crescent City during our years filming Treme, and, in her own way, she captured it right back. If you watched anything from The Wire to Show Me A Hero to Generation Kill to Treme, you reveled in some of her fine television work, and if you were along for the ride as she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for everyone from Baltimore school children and recovering addicts to New Orleans musicians and culture-bearers, you knew she was the best of us. Her memory is a blessing always.
Mighty kootie fiyo, Laura Schweigman (1979-2024).
