He went on to say she, ‘taught us to respects the space we occupy when we perform, instilled the integrity of the work and how lucky we are to get it. When we would run lines together (until the end) she would enter into the character and do whatever accent was needed.’

‘I secretly filmed her and showed the director and she got the role! They all said she was too frail to fly but we did it anyway.’

‘She got a standing ovation on the set (I’m over 80 movies into it and I’ve never seen that) she was a voracious reader and 15 years ago. She gave me a short story by Arthur Miller called “The Performance “ she hung on all these years until we got it made into a film. She would ask me about it daily. We are all walking miracles. The film is a tribute to her.’ 

The actor continued: ‘Not quite sure how to navigate without her yet this beautiful life is about transformation which was one of her theater games.’
