Sad day in Hollywood.

As I said at DaltsGang.com about the passing of Lawrence Parke…

I’ve already cried twice today over this loss, and I’m sure I will cry again. My heart hurts for the gift that newbies forever more will NOT receive now that dear Larry is gone. I knew his health was failing and I treasure the many times we got to swap stories, hug, and raise glasses together in toasts to this crazy business and our blessings for being a part of it.

Some of the most generous, loving things that have ever been said about the industry and the people in it — as well as about life itself — came from Larry’s mouth. I am so grateful to have shared a portion of my LA years calling this man my friend. And I am so touched to recall the last words he ever said to me: “I love you, Bonnie.”

What a gift I get to take with me!

Rest in peace, dear friend.
