We only just became friends, and it hurts that you're now gone, out of my reach.
I know that others feel the same way, the same pain, for you touched so many lives with so many of your performances, topped by an enviable stretch on the popular Surfside 6.
Among your movies, you gave us Thunder Alley; The Mini-Skirt Mob; Maryjane; Five the Hard Way; I Sailed to Tahti with an All Girl Crew; Black Gold; Invisible Mom II; Puppet Master 5; The Delta Factor, Wicked Wicked; and Spinout, one of my top-five Elvis Presley flicks.
On television (in addition to the aforementioned Surfside 6), you guest starred on Batman (in Mad Hatter and Green Hornet installments); Land of the Giants; The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams; Police Story; Barbary Coast; Sugarfoot; The Lawman; The Alaskans; The Young and the Restless; Hawaii Five-O; Charlie's Angels; Airwolf; Sabrina, the Teenage Witch; Matt Houston; 77 Sunset Strip; Mod Squad; Jake and the Fatman; Mannix; Love, American Style; Dr. Welby, M.D.; and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
To crown these abundant achievements, you toured with Tippi Hedren and Joey Bishop in Vietnam, bringing great joy to young men otherwise in great danger and under great duress.
Without question, you were one heck of a big-hearted lady, and though my exchange with you was brief, what surfaced meant much. Trust me, Ms. McBain, you are missed and treasured all within the same, respectful breath.
