I met her a few years back at Lynne Thigpen’s combination birthday/Hannakwanzaamas shindig. (Lynne won the Tony appearing in Wendy’s An American Daughter, coming on stage drenched head to toe.) Everybody was supposed to bring an ornament for the tree– I brought a talking Darth Vader ornament, since Lynne had done numerous shows with James Earl Jones.
Wendy didn’t bring an ornament. Quickly improvising, she reached into her handbag and pulled out an empty prescription bottle for Valium. She poked a hole in the lid, put a hook through it and hung it from the tree.
A one-of-a-kind ornament from a one-of-a-kind lady. Selah.
It would help if you explained why you were posting about her. Putting the appropriate dates (1950-2006) next to her name would have been enough.
Why should he have to explain? Her death has been a major news story in the last couple of days.
