The Kate I Knew
(2 of 2)
After quickly escaping to her waiting car, Kate said, "Don't ever have one of those for me." I said I was sure some tribute was inevitable. "Well, luckily I won't have to be there for it," she added, "and neither should you." I suggested that Irene's service had provided some comfort for everybody there. "Not me," she said. "She's dead, and nothing's going to bring her back. Better if everybody had stayed home and thought about her for a moment, then gone on with their lives. And that's all they should do when I die. And if anybody wants to do more than that, they can rent one of my movies."
From Kate Remembered (July 2003; G.P. Putnam's Sons), a memoir by Pulitzer-prizewinning biographer A. Scott Berg
