“I saw her two or three weeks ago, and she was very thin. She had lost so much weight,” she told People.
After the wildfires devastated parts of California earlier this year, Carole said she had seen Diane less.
“She had to go to Palm Springs because her house had been damaged inside, and they had to clean everything. She was down there for a while, and when she came back, I was kind of stunned by how much weight she’d lost.”
“She was a magic light for everyone. I just loved her. She was so special, she just lit up a room with her energy. She was happy and upbeat and taking photographs of everything she saw. She was completely creative; she never stopped creating,” Carole added.
Just 9 months ago, Diane and Carole collaborated on a song “First Christmas.”
“She so loved recording this song. She was almost childlike about it,” she said. “She was so authentic when she sang it, I mean, she just sang it like she was singing it, and she was sort of acting it, you know, because she is a great actress. And then she’d start to cry when she was singing it. But she did such a beautiful job.”
