We worked together on her last, and one of her favorite films, ‘Sallywood,’ where she gave a bravura performance as herself. She was funny, feisty, vulnerable and self-deprecating. She never wanted anyone to say she was gone. ‘Don’t say Sally died, say Sally passed on into the spirits.’ Safe passage, beautiful lady,” she wrote. A sad farewell to my friend, Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland. She was to be interviewed for my book on Robert Redford, appearing in The Sting and The Way We Were. The last message she sent me stated, "I love you James and I am glad we are friends." Same here, Sally. RIP pic.twitter.com/OXasEUq6pZ— James L.
