[16] Her publicist, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, confirmed the news to the Associated Press. In a statement, the family said “our pride is in who she was in addition to acting; a person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving and forgiving in an often harsh world.”[17]
