Emotion, exposition, authority, vulnerability, empathy\u2026 I soon realized, no matter what we came up with, she’d always make it work, seemingly without effort.

She is, without a doubt, one of the finest industry professionals I’ve come acrossin my 24 years of writing television. I’m saddened by her looming exit. It’ll be my lucky day if I ever get to write for her again.\u201d<\/p>\n
