Yes, you are right Alan – stories can save our lives.  And our website, wwwsketchyscribe.com is a testimony to that fact.  I feel better writing my sweet girls and I’ll bet they feel better knowing that someone out there is thinking of them and “singing” to them in the only way she can. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you helped to bring to our world through your enigmatic and quintessential acting style. Watching you act was like watching a sleek panther leaping effortlessly from one jungle branch to another. Such natural elegance, especially when playing the part of the “villain.” One lesson of acting you knew so well: do not judge the character you are playing. Actors are agents of change.  They can represent, with such surrender, the frail human in the grip of of a journey through their unique story.  I will remember you.
