Mitzie,
The only good poem I ever wrote

I wished you freedom.
Funny.
If you didn't have more of it then

Mitzie gave the world so much with her and Ken's work in television. Our culture is forever grateful. Her Emmys set standards.

Mitzie was a woman who embodied every aspect of intelligence, style, talent, and humor.

Her loving partnership with Ken produced wonderful and entertaining work which has been enjoyed by the entire world - and it also produced her two incredible daughters. A fitting legacy for a truly amazing woman.

She made great contributions to our world, and she will be missed. Much love to her, and to her family.
