She possessed the talent to find humor and life, as well as compassion within each and every character she portrayed… She performed in an era when the prevailing influence was the male-dominated society, and she navigated with elegance and affection… On all occasions I met her — our paths crossed thrice — I shed tears in an awkward that was embarrassing enough for me to withdraw."
