Lindsay on Altman [USA Today]

“I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I’ve had in several years.

“The point is, he made a difference.

“He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.

“So every day when you wake up.

“Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments.

“The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious.

First, we here at ASL offer our own condolences. Mr. Altman was an artist and he will be sorely missed. Second, I give her props for what seems like a pretty heartfelt sentiment. Third, couldn’t she have just sent this to his family by way of his agent or something? Fourthly, “the drama is tedious”? Girl, please. *snicker*
