took over his family's Hygrade Food
Products and moved the business to
Michigan in the mid-1950s.
When prominent columnists Walter
Winchell and Dorothy Kilgallen were
on vacation, Ms. Eder filled in for
them with her own columns.
"She loved her family and her work,"
Slotkin said. "What other mom could
get her son front row seats for a Beatles
concert?
"She was a hard worker who treated
everyone fairly," her son said. "She
knew everyone — calling people like
Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra at their
homes, but never wrote anything false
about anyone."
Late in her career, Eder received the
Publicists Guild of America national
press award in 1990.
Shirley Eder is survived by her son,
John, and daughter, Toni, an ABC
Sports producer, both of New York
City.
With a private service held June 1 in
New York City, a memorial service in
the Detroit area will be held this sum-
mer, her son said.
Memorial contributions may be
donated to the Hebrew Home for the
Aged at Riverdale, 5901 Palisade Ave.,
Riverdale, N.Y. 10471.

"She never missed a deadline," her
son said. "She was like a machine. She
triple-checked her copy [for accuracy]."
Ms. Eder had a knack for doing sto-
ries about Hollywood figures before
they were celebrities.
Long before he was a household
name, Ms. Eder published an interview
with movie director Steven Spielberg.
Years later, when he won an Oscar for
Schindlers List Spielberg made sure
that Ms. Eder got to ask him the first
question at the post-ceremony press
conference.
She had an influence beyond her col-
umn and radio-TV shows. When the
musical Hello, Dolly reached Detroit in
the early 1960s during its pre-
Broadway run, the production was in
trouble and was nearly canceled,
Slotkin said. But his mother liked the
show and urged the producer to con-
tinue.
Major changes in the show were
made, including adding the famous
title song, before it opened on
Broadway.
Early in her career in New York, she
was on radio and TV — activities she
continued when she moved to Detroit.
The move was prompted by her mar-
riage to the late Edward Slotkin who
the disease, Ms. Laredo had maintained
her performing schedule, said her sister,
Rayna Kogan of West Bloomfield.
"She had concerts scheduled for this
coming summer," Kogan said. "It
made her weak, but this is what she
wanted to do."
Ms. Laredo, known as the "First Lady
of the Piano," was scheduled to appear
at the Great Lakes Chamber Music
Festival, to be held June 1 1-26 at vari-
ous sites in Metro Detroit. Instead, the
two-week event will be dedicated to her
