00:00All of us wanted to carry on filming today. That's a natural feel for Annie's sake and
00:04all our sakes, but when it came to it, we couldn't do it. Annie was a vibrant present.
00:13When she was there, you knew she was there, and she was always loving, always happy. There
00:19was never a laugh far away. It's the whole thought that she isn't around anymore is the
00:25hard thing, and coming in here, we've had rows, we've shouted, we've argued, we've
00:30been violent with each other, we can cross with each other, but we've laughed. Oh boy,
00:35have we laughed always with Annie, even in the midst of shouting and crying. There would
00:40be a laugh. That's what she was about, Annie. As an actress, she was impeccable. Her comedy
00:44timing was brilliant. With drama, she could go deep into the drama. We all know she could
00:50cry. She was good at that. And I think she was probably underestimated as an actress,
00:56and to have her as a partner for the last 40 years, I couldn't have been more blessed.
01:02She was always full of good humor, full of love, with no bitterness and no resentment.
01:08She was just a very, very beautiful soul.
