“
One wonders if others can fully understand the depth of emotion involved in building a life with a unique man who is essentially a survivor against tremendous odds. Their love is a rare gift, encompassing as it does all the trust, caring and devotion most other men share with a multitude of women in their lives -- mother, child, mistress, etc. When you are fortunate enough to have known this kind of oneness, you are truly blessed.
-- Gloria Romanoff, in a condolence letter to Oona O'Neill Chaplin, February 6, 1978.
