“She was a very small-statured woman, really thin.
She almost looked like a Black Polynesian, she was just so exotic.
Then she had this deep, cavernous voice.
When she spoke, it was such a command of attention.”
Lynch continued, “She was tenacious in her love of art, film, and expression.
She would’ve done anything.
She was one of those die-hard old-school actors, performers, Hollywood people.
You do the work.
It was a delight to work with you.”
Clark was also married to fellow actor Billy Dee Williams from 1968 to 1971.
