"I’m devastated and heartbroken," Anderson told Fox News of Hesseman, who died Saturday at age 81. "The warmth and depth of our 40-year friendship only grew stronger with each decade. Howard was eloquent…stylish…and hilarious," the actress shared. "I loved getting his erudite ‘Dear Lady Loni’ emails. My favorite Howard sign-off…a quote by Louis Armstrong…’Jazz is what you are.’ And now Howard, forever missed is just what you are."
