Born on March 22, 1987, and raised in Sherman Oaks, Solters graduated from Oakwood School and then USC with a bachelor’s degree in theater.

Solters was actively involved in V-Day International and Women’s Rights, a testament to her compassion and desire to create a better future. “Her unwavering optimism and kind heart touched the lives of many,” the company said.
In addition to her father and his partner, Carol Greenhut, survivors include her mother, Debra Graff; her aunt, Susan Reynolds; her cousin, Jonah Reynolds; her longtime partner, Dim Dobrin; and her dog, Pookie.
A celebration of life is being planned. Donations in her name can be made to One Billion Rising.
