***UPDATE This morning, November 3, 2007 at about 10:15, Marilyn passed away at Hollywood Presbyterian hospital.

Her husband David, best friend Dolores and I were at her bedside. I happened to be awake when I got news that it was getting down to the wire so I hopped in my car and sped to the hospital. We stood around her sometimes hugging her sometimes holding her hand but always assuring her we loved her and there was nothing to be afraid of. We encouraged her to do what she had to do and not worry about us. With that, she passed away peacefully and knowing that she touched so many of our lives and was loved by all.

People may say that Marilyn Martinez lost her battle with cancer but I say she decided to surpass the cancer and go through the doorway to start a new life somewhere else other than what we understand as earth. It may sound morbid to say but we're all headed through that door at some point or another and when we finally go, we all should be so lucky to be surrounded by so much love just like Marilyn.

Marilyn will definately be missed. She was a great comic and an even better friend. We love you.

************************************************************ ******
We are saddened to inform all of you that our long time friend, colleague, client and Latin Diva of Comedy Marilyn Martinez lost her bout with cancer. Marilyn passed away Saturday November 3rd at 10:16 am.

Marilyn's husband David was by her side every minute of every day since she was diagnosed with colon cancer nearly nine months ago. David was with her when she passed Saturday morning. David has truly exemplified the true meaning of Love and Marriage. David you are a saint.

We were able to spend some time with Marilyn in her last couple of days and she seemed at peace with what was inevitable. One of our favorite Marilyn Martinez routines was a great bit that she made classic Marilyn, a bit about making memories. Most of you know this bit. We are very proud to have had the opportunity to have known her and to have had the opportunity to have made a couple of memories with her as well.

Fellow comics like Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, George Lopez, Joe Rogan, Martin Lawrence, Carlos Mencia, Cheech Marin, Damon Waynes Dane Cook, Pauly Shore and Eva Langoria, were all big fans of Marilyn. Cheech brought her on tour with him all last year, Martin Lawrence featured her on his First Amendment series for Starz this year, Carlos Mencia had her open for him on several shows at the beginning of this year as well. Pauly Shore featured her in his 2003 film “Pauly Shore is Dead” and Paul Rodriguez had her tour with him for many years.

In recent years Marilyn was in the first season of SiTV’s Reality Show “Urban Jungle” where she played Matriarch to a house full of spoiled young adults. She was also seen in the “Hot Tamales” with Eva Langoria as well as in the movie “For Da Love of Money” and Damon Waynes “My Wife and Kids”.

Marilyn had been honing her craft performing her brand of comedy for over 30 years having performed in just about every city in America. Marilyn was also one of Comedy Store owner Mitsy Shores favorites and one of the Comedy Store legends.

Most recently she co-headlined and was able to showcase her true uncompromised talent on Showtime, in the Original Latin Divas of Comedy.

Marilyn was a true comic and she was truly a comics comic. For that she was our favorite comedienne and one of our dear friends. She never compromised her own comedy or what she might say on stage in front of anyone at anytime on any occasion and that's what made her so unique and so special to us. She made us laugh all the time and that's all she really ever wanted to do, just make people laugh.

We love you and we will all miss you dearly Marilyn.

Payaso Entertainment/The Collective

Marilyn made many memories with us. Keep on making memories and keep laughing because that is what she would want. We will miss the LATIN QUEEN OF COMEDY..



On Wednesday, March 28, 2007, Marilyn collapsed and was taken to the emergency room, and upon her arrival was diagnosed with an advanced form of colon cancer that had also spread to her liver. She immediately underwent an emergency surgery of total colectomy (meaning all of her colon and some of her small intestine were removed). She has since woken and regained consciousness, but there is another immediate problem. Marilyn, having no insurance, was informed by doctors that she needed to make a payment of $20,000 the day after her surgery for her hospital stay and surgery. She will then have to follow up with chemo-therapy for the next couple of months. This news has forever changed her life and the lives of her family and friends.

Marilyn has stage 4 colon cancer. She also has no health insurance, so many of her comedy family have been doing a series of benefits for her to help her with her finances. Her hospital stay alone is over $100,000. If you'd like to make a donation, please go to marilynmartinez.com or click the Make a Memory for Marilyn Banner. Any amount helps. Thank you for your support.
