Filmgoddess Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The great lady Connie Wald, died on November 10th at the age of 96, her son confirmed. She knew simply everyone in Hollywood. More people than even Robert Osborne (because she was far older). She was the widow of producer Jerry Wald (who died 50 years ago). 70 years ago they started giving dinner parties for every name who ever walked into the door. Nancy Reagan knew her before she met the future president. She was Audrey Hepburn's best friend who stayed with her after her surgery in 1992, just 10 weeks before she died. She was beloved by all. And her legendary Thanksgiving Dinner will go on ... as she told her son "no flowers, no service, and don't cancel Thanksgiving!" They don't make 'em like that anymore. RIP.
