Goodbye Myrtle

I watched what may be my last episode of All My Children with today's tribute to Myrtle Fargate. Eileen Herlie was a grand old lady. She played Myrtle with warmth and wit and fire. I loved seeing all the old flashbacks, how she changed over the years and how she didn't. She had an open door and an open ear for everyone she encountered. And she wasn't afraid to take on all comers. Thorsten Kaye's poem at the end was so beautiful. I will miss her presence.
