She displayed the skill to discover comedy and life, as well as compassion within every single persona she portrayed… She acted in an era when the dominant influence was the male-dominated society, and she navigated with grace and affection… Each time I encountered her — our paths crossed thrice — I cried tears in an awkward that was embarrassing enough for me to retreat."
