“It was the goddamned bunny.

I still have it.”

“No, I won’t leave California.

No, I won’t move to New York.

I wasted a whole year we could have had together.”

White and Ludden remained married until his death 18 years later.

“I had the love of my life,” she said to Anderson Cooper in 2011.

“If you’ve had the best, who needs the rest?”
