Perhaps the greatest tribute comes from Dick Van Dyke himself, who wrote a letter remembering his dear friend and former costar.
Calling her “the best,” the 91-year-old reminisces on their time together onset and praises the actress’ massive talent.
Here’s an excerpt from his letter (below):
“She was 23 years old, gorgeous of course, and had a kind of mid-Atlantic accent. She sounded a little bit like Katharine Hepburn. My first question was, “Can this girl do comedy?” After that I said, “She’s a little young for me.” I got to be on hand and watch her grow into the talent she became. She was just the best.”
He added:
“Outside of her family, I don’t think there was anyone more proud of her than I was. Just to watch her grow was such a thrill for me. She left an imprint on television comedy.”
That, she certainly did. She was a national treasure who inspired a countless number of women!
