There are no words......
Dear Wonderful Kim, died on Monday morning, September 16th, 2013, just four days after her Birthday.....
Another loss that breaks my heart,,,,,,
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a long time will remember her from the many "Ladies Who Lunch".....
But in truth, you never met the real Kim; the Kim who was so full of life......
The light had faded from her eyes......a true reflection of the light that had faded from her life.....
Like a sister to me, my friend, since 1968,
something died in her when her dear husband Werner died in the year 2000....
No one will ever know how good she was and what a big loving heart she had, or how devoted she was to those she held close, and, how incredibly talented she was, too---an actress of infinite versatility and as beautiful inside as she was outside.
A woman of color who lived through all the hazards of what came with that, back in the day, and still.....

Yet, she survived and she thrived.
She made the BEST of everything she had.....And loved her very special daughter Tanya and Son-in-law Henry with all her Heart.
And she was so very very proud of her four fantastic Grandchildren----Dana, Corey, Aaron and Cohen---each one, so very brilliant and accomplished, and such good people, as well as each one contributing to the betterment of the world by virtue of their very presence, and because of their deep integrity, as people.
They were her pride and joy.
And then there were the three Great Grandchildren....
The Light of her Life!
And a fourth grandchild is due in a few days from now.
And so.....
The Cycle of Life Continues......

Kim and her husband, Werner Klemperer

She holds the distinction of being the only African-American to appear on Leave it to Beaver and she originated the role of Helen Willis. She was also one of the few black actors to appear on The Twilight Zone, starring in "The Big Tall Wish" alongside her husband's Hogan's Heroes' costar, Ivan Dixon.
