Goodbye to beautiful Rita, a friend and inspiration always --

I met Rita in the late '80s when I interviewed her for Hollywood Studio Magazine. I was struck by her intelligence, graciousness, and staggering beauty. We became friends after that.
Rita was a remarkable woman -- she'd been in Hollywood, starred in films, been on the cover of Life magazine, and yet her feet were firmly on the ground. Later on she had returned to her stage work, and followed it up with two books, producing credits, work at the Actors Studio, and roles in films like "Klute."
I no longer live in NYC but I can imagine Rita right to the end writing, working, planning - she was that kind of woman. She had such a tremendous energy and zest. We will miss you, Rita.

I was watching the movie King of Kings yesterday. Rita Gam was very great as Herodias. I love the whole movie. May God be with her family. I am glad
I watched King of King just
before Easter.

To me, your most famous role will be that of Herodias in "King of Kings" (1961). Easter isn't the same without seeing that wonderful movie.
Rest in Peace, dearest Rita. See you in Heaven.
