Not sure what to say?

Delia,
I often think of you and the effect you had on my life in such a short time. I remember the days I walked you to your car after class and we spoke.

Delia was definitely one of the greats. She was a grand lady with powerful convictions, a passion for theater and a phenomenal teacher.

One of the first things you learned when you "made it" into the prestigious UCLA Film School was that you MUST take Delia Salvi's Directing of the Actors class. I did and what I learned stayed with me for all my filmmaking days. Not only that, I gained a lifelong friend. Goodbye, Delia. May you rest in peace.
