As for Robert, he “felt the same way” as his costar.
“I enjoyed working with her over the years because we developed a rhythm that was natural and easy,” the Hot Rock actor began, “didn’t require a lot of discussion or psychological exploration or anything like that. It just was.”
He also felt Jane was the perfect pick to play Addie, who Robert said is a “driving force,” adding, “And Jane herself is a driving force.”
Now, following his passing, Jane isn’t the only peer of Robert’s mourning the hole his death leaves behind, both personally and professionally.
Meryl Streep, who shared the screen with Robert in Out of Africa, told Deadline, “One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend.”
