Kathy Willens, pathbreaking Associated Press photographer who captured sports and more, dies at 74
NEW YORK (AP) — Kathy Willens, a pathbreaking photojournalist who helped cement women’s place behind the lens everywhere from the Super Bowl to war-torn Somalia during her nearly 45-year career at The Associated Press, died Tuesday. She was 74.
Willens died at her Brooklyn home of ovarian cancer, diagnosed shortly after her 2021 retirement, said her nephew Ben Willens.
A giving colleague but fierce competitor who brooked no interference between her and a picture, Willens was among the AP’s first female staff photographers.
