The passing of Andy leaves me very saddened. The stable presence I always counted on somehow to be there is gone. His calm, steady, humorous outlook at life’s everyday problems somehow helped me get through my days a little easier. “What would Andy think? or “What would Andy do?” I always kept that in my mind.
Andy and I were special friends for over 40 years. We had a bond that goes way back. His great charisma radiated generosity and love, both as an actor and personally. I was particularly moved when he told me he had named his dog Charlene after me because ‘she was all over me’ (referring to my character, Charlene Darling). The world is lonelier and colder today without Mr. Griffith. Thank God for the wonderful episodes we can still watch. Oh Andy, I miss you so.

And a great interview with Maggie in the Las Vegas Sun online:
Just Darling
I never knew she read for the part of Ellie.
