She wrote, "Alan Arkin was a gem of a person, and I am so lucky to have gotten to work with him on Get Smart. He was kind, soulful, supportive, a pro's pro, generous, genuine, wise, inquisitive, and a fantastic example of how to be an artist. He left a huge impression on my then twenty-three year old self and is at the center of some of my most cherished and fond career memories."


"I'm sending love and sympathy to his family (who are gems themselves)," she added.
