I studied under her and her mother at the Estelle Harmon Actor´s Workshop in Hollywood back in the early 90s. I learned so much from that experience. RIP Eden. You were amazing.

I have only just come to know this special lady through YouTube and listening to her take on her expertise in coaching actors I am sure that anyone who had the privilege of being in her presence one to one came away a wiser and more insightful person. To my ears and mind she was truly remarkable especially in her response to the demon that inflicted her but like her I smile in having made my introduction to what as I initially thought a truly special person. RIP EHB you no doubt touched the lives of many who were better having known you and that’s quite some legacy,

I know it's been 2 years since Eden has passed, but I am just now finding out. I hope her family sees this. Anyway, I took acting classes from Eden at her mom's studio from 1989 to 1990. I never became an actor, but the time I spent in Eden's classes gave me, as a young and shy 21 year old, more than acting skills. She had much more confidence in me than I had in myself and it has had a positive impact on me my entire adult life! So please now that your wife, mom and sister had an incredible affect on others that you may never have met.Sincerely,Bryan Atkinson

I just heard that Eden had passed and felt I needed to say thank you to her. I attended her mother's school, Estelle Harmon Actors Workshop back in the late 70's, but I remember the kindness that Eden showed to everyone. She was working in the office, off & in, since I think she was still in school back then. Her warmth and kindness helped to make my experience there a memorable and happy time. I had hoped to reconnect, and feel saddened to here the news of her cancer. Although it's been many years since those days, I will never forget her and I send love and prayers to her family. She will be missed.

I'm just now hearing of Eden's passing as I was thinking of my time spent learning the craft of acting under she and her mother at EHAW back in the nineties. They both were so good to me, and encouraging of me, and it was an experience that I've carried with me throughout the years since those days. Rest In Peace Eden and thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me.

Oh my gosh! I am so saddened to hear this! I knew Efen very well as a young teenager, attending classes at Estelle Hartman's workshop! I spent 3 years there. She directed me in a couple of student projects. I remembered her as a vibrant, smart, kind young lady. I had so wanted to reconnect. I am stunned and saddened to have found out this way. My prayers to her family. Sincerely, Lori Russo
