JERRY ORBACH DEAD AT 69 (by guest blogger Dawn Summers)
My friend lived down the hall from Jerry Orbach. Whenever I visited her, I would see him in the lobby or in the elevator. Of course, I have a chronic case of star-struckness and would always look away or hide behind pillars if I saw him. One day, shortly after new year's day in 2001, I vowed that I would say hi the next time I saw him.
Unfortunately, I vowed this out loud as my friend was locking her door and it turns out Jerry Orbach and his wife were also in the hallway opening their door when I made my out loud vow.
D'oh.
His wife very nicely told him to "say hello to the girls." He turned toward us, smiled and they went inside.
He will be missed.
