Anita Hollander was just 21 when she faced her first bout of cancer—a malignant tumor in her left leg. That was 1977 and Hollander, who was a theater major at Carnegie Mellon University, returned to school just a few weeks after surgery. Her cancer came back five years later and that time her leg could not be saved. In a recent interview with JewishBoston, Hollander said: “What I know better than anything else is theater. After the amputation, I was always going to go back to work. Going back on stage helped me to heal.”
