the Park Plaza Hotel on West 77th Street in New York City on August 30, 1974. Her death was initially ascribed to heart failure, but it was later determined that she was killed by Calvin Jackson, a serial killer who had murdered eight other women, most in the Park Plaza where he also lived. She was survived by her mother, a sister, and a brother. Portrait busts Most of Platt's portrait busts were sculpted in clay and then employed the lost-wax method to cast her finished pieces in bronze or plaster. All of her casting was done by the Roman Bronze Works, Inc. of Corona, New York. Many of the finished busts were first sent to the Peter A. Juley photography studio in Manhattan before being shipped to their final destination. Professional photograghs of the busts were given to the new owners as part of the finished work. Both the Roman Bronze Works Company and the Peter Juley photography studio have since gone out of business. Platt's job production records from the Roman Bronze Company are housed in the Amon Carter Museum archives, and the photographic negatives of a number of her works are housed in the Smithsonian Museum. Among her subjects were Louis D. Brandeis, Learned Hand, Albert Einstein, and Earl Warren. In 1974, Girl Scouts of the USA began selling miniature replica editions of a Juliette Low bust. A Girl Scouts promotional brochure stated, "On October 31, 1974, the bronze portrait bust of Juliette Gordon Low, created by noted sculptor Eleanor Platt, was placed in the Rotunda of the State Capital in Atlanta, Georgia. Now Girl Scouts U.S.A announces the availability of miniature replicas of the original Juliette Low bust. Cast in Durastone, under the supervision of Ms. Platt, each replica has been hand rubbed to a rich, bronze-color finish, stands 9.5" tall, including black base, and bears the signatures of both sculptor and subject. Included with each replica is a history card and brass plate suitable for engraving." The busts were sold for $15.00 plus $1.50 in shipping and handling.
