We hung out with each other and became friends.

She was such a down-to-earth, beautiful, caring person.

Only a few of those come along in our industry [who are like that].”

“That was really funny,” Fabio said of that long-ago moment.

“Darlene was very spontaneous.

She was a great actress.

She’d improvise a little bit.”
