“He did the most thoughtful thing ever. I actually brought it. It’s usually in my bar. It has some wine on it from some usage. He wrote me this…and I’m not going to read it all…but he wrote me this beautiful handwritten note, which reminds me so much of my grandparents…” she explained. “He wrote the most important days in my life: the day Mila was born, the day Poppy was born, the day my son [Hal] was born, our wedding, my birthday. He sent me a bottle of wine for each of these…I have chills.”

“That’s who he is. He is such a thoughtful person….” she expressed. “He is so freakishly thoughtful, and he’s such a planner and he likes to make sure that thought goes into it. This is an evolution. It wasn’t always like this. But he’s always been the one to write poetry or come up with really thoughtful gifts.”
