Dear Madeline, such a long time since I saw you and Seth and Milton. You were the one to help me start Lynn Redgrave (my wife of 33 years, now sadly also passed) on her path to expressing her true self as an extension of her stage presence, when you boldly cast her as Barbara Walters replacement on NBC's "Not For Women Only". You kept your confidence, and she honed her personality with your help. So I remember you and your family with gratitude, and I'm only sorry we lost touch after our move to the West Coast.

To the family of my dear friend and mentor, Madeline: Madeline took me under her wing when I was in my early 20's -- she introduced me to some remarkable business icons in NY, took me to meetings with her, shared her dinner table with me...recommended me to others, wrote references fro me...she was much more than a business mentor however, she was my dear friend. WQe stayed in touch over all these years, I'm now 62 years old...and have been quite successful in my years in marketing and public relations, in great part due to the advice of Madeline -- and of so often hearing her voice inside my head when it was time to make decisions or take risks. I recently created a brain elasticity program, published a book on it, three DVDs and a set of flashcards -- and I visited her last year and talked to her about them. I also sent her a copy of the materials -- which bears a tribute to her in the acknowledgments of the book, Ageless Grace. I spoke with her on the phone not too long after that. I will always carry her spirit and inspiration in my heart -- as long as I live So she lives on -- not just in me, but in the many she inspired and befriended. With gratitude for all you brought to my life Madeline...Love, Denise Medved, [email protected]
