Kelly Scott, former Los Angeles Times culture editor, dies at 68
Kelly Scott, a former Los Angeles Times editor who oversaw arts, culture and entertainment coverage for much of her 25-year career at the newspaper, died in Highland Park, Ill., on Jan. 30 of complications related to thyroid cancer, according to her family. She was 68.
Kelly Jane Scott was born July 12, 1954, to John Robert Scott and Joan Boon Scott in Evanston, Ill., according to her family. She grew up in the northern Chicago suburb of Wilmette before graduating from Memorial High School in Houston. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in journalism at the University of Kansas, where she was the managing editor of the Daily Kansan.
Scott was known as a supporter of arts criticism. She sometimes would give feedback days after a piece ran, which can feel like a lifetime in the perpetual churn of a daily news operation, where stories are often seen once and then never again. “She was there for work, but we were able to have fun and see things,” Devin said. “As a kid, I didn’t appreciate how unique that was and how special that was.”
