My mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was 14 around the time A Woman Under the Influence was released. When I saw the film, I wept for days. I felt my mom was validated through Gena's performance, it released such a heavy burden from the stigma my family endured surrounding mental illness. I will never forget how it helped me cope with the isolation and pain i felt as a teenager. Thank you Gena for your bravery and tremendous gift, you are missed...may you rest in eternal peace and love. ❤❤❤

He died too young but has left her with so many memories and gifts to treasure. A fascinating and moving interview - thanks for sharing!
