Only when she saw him at work, she began to have a look at her star in a different way. “But one day I remember, he was on stage and played the role of a returning soldier … and at some point he slowly and intentionally tied a tie in his soldier’s uniform. And I remember how he was sitting in the audience and looked at him and looked at him and looked at him and something very special happened,” she said. “I didn’t think about him in a certain way and I didn’t have romantic ideas about him. But when I watched him, I felt a kind of lightning.” Two years later, the couple got married.

Davis had similar gratitude, as a number of years before his death he shared this jewel about what he took them together.
