My first studio movie was The Way We Were. Like everyone else I was dazzled by Bob and Barbara. They were both terrific to me and I learned a lot from them both. Bob used to hide in my trailer so they’d stop pulling at him every five minutes. We would sit and talk about the difference between theatre and movie acting, and his advice went a long way in my life. Years later he came to a New York stage performance, and I remember he wrote a personal note to every one in the cast. He knew the impact he had on people, especially his fellow artists, and he used it graciously at every opportunity. . He was an incredibly giving and lovely man. I’m grateful for the short time and chats we had together. Thank you, Bob, and may you rest in peace.
