She is missed. What a great actress and great beauty!

I think you(Suzanne) lived in a condo unit near Ed Fink on Los Feliz Blvd. I touched your Dusenberg!! You were a great and beautiful star!

An Incredible gifted actress. She was a great friend to quite a few other actors and people. All of her movies reflect her great presence and of course her incredible natural physical and human being beauty. Suzanne fits the line from Youngblood Hawke movie " Some people improve life by simple existing" I think she did. Thank you so very much for all you did for so many. Thank you and thank you.

What a classy lady and actress. Every time she appeared on the screen I would drop every thing and begin to watch. We all were so very lucky to have someone so beautiful and kind to entertain us all these years.

Thinking about you, Suzanne. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I still enjoy the Bob Newhart Show. You were perfect for that role. Beautiful, witty, quick , charming and classy. Thank you for lightening my day or mood every time I see you and "Bob". An amazing lady still dearly missed.
