Not sure what to say?

I was lucky when I met Woody because in meeting and getting to work with him I got to know and enjoy Paulette. She was the most vocal, vibrant vivacious and driven person I had ever met. I was so lucky a few times to sit with her and soak he her love and knowledge. I wish there was the the answer to why. There is not. What I do believe we will have one of those talks in the future.

So much love. Too many memories. My best.

I will never forget the first time I met Paulette. Her vibrancy, her passion for her work, her enthusiasm for life, her blaring intellect, her infectious smile and laughter, and her commitment to social injustice left a lasting impression. She was a thunder ball, a lighting strike, and most importantly a beacon of energy for living life to its fullest. My condolences to Woody and her family. This is a tremendous loss for all who knew her.

Paulette inspired all that worked with her. She always motivated me to do my best.

I'm so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Paulette. My condolences to Woody, Hannah and Halle.

We became fast friends 40 years ago when we were neighbors in the same town house on South 21rst Street across the street from Friday Saturday Sunday in Philadelphia. She was working for the Mike Douglas show in Philadelphia and I was teaching at U Penn. Last Friday night we were at the Met together for a Ratmansky themed evening of ballet. The night before, her wonderful daughter Halle joined my daughter and me for...
