A Loving Couple
Although both worked extensively in television and film their primary love was for the living theater. In 1983 they introduced playwright James G. Richardson's one act play Eulogy directed by Heidie Helen Davis. It was a two character play written especially for them as part of a trilogy of two character one-acts. They performed it in both New York and Los Angeles and it was the last work they performed together on stage before she died. However, their very last work together was in the Trapper John, M.D. episode "The Curmudgeon", shown on March 18, 1986 just a week before she died. In it she and John played reunited lovers who finally marry. The love they shared is beautifully evident in the final kiss between them at the end.

—First published in Girls’ Home Companion (1895)
“If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.”
