Thoughtful, brilliant, kind and loved.
My sweet friend.”
“I had no idea that he was battling cancer,” Daily said.
“I knew that something was going on.
I could tell that he was not wanting to be out or be seen.
I’d invite him to something, and he [would say] no…
He felt fragile to me, honestly.”
Unlike his exuberant screen persona, she noted, the real Reubens was far more reserved.
“Paul was this gentle spirit,” she said.
“His voice was gentle.
He was very thoughtful.
It would not have happened without his support.
He was a great artist.
I’ll miss him.”
Representatives for Rubens announced his death Monday,including a posthumous message from the actor himself.
I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you."
