Indeed, Wilkerson Kassel was synonymous with Women in Film, the nonprofit organization she founded in 1973 after reading a statistic in The Reporter from the WGA that only 2% of all television series scripts were penned by women.
At the end of an informal party that Wilkerson Kassel held at her home for the early members of WIF some years ago, she handed out small hand-held electric fans as a kind of premenopausal party favor, recalled longtime friend Bonny Dore, a producer and past president of WIF.
In addition to Kassel, Wilkerson Kassel is survived by her sister, Gloria O'Connor; two children from her marriage to Wilkerson, Cynthia, one-time managing editor of The Hollywood Reporter as well as an agent, and William, a songwriter; and three grandchildren.

 Salon Wanderlust | Postmark: Kassel, Germany
The center of Kassel was rebuilt after World War II in a style that is, for lack of a gentler word, grotesque.
But here and there are remnants of the baroque city that played a prominent role in the cultural history of Germany: One of Europe's first museums, the 1708 Fridericianum; Germany's first permanent theater, the 17th century Ottoneum; and a bright yellow baroque Orangery and formal park, located on the banks of the Fulda River.
It was time to say a reluctant farewell to Kassel, a city that invests in the avant-garde instead of the stock market -- the ugly duckling on the Fairy Tale road that has transformed itself in the name of art.
