anannow, victoria's dear friend elka ostrovsky would like to say a few words. - victoria chase may have been vain, bubbleheaded, and crazy... - but? - there's no "but." - victoria was more than a friend to me. she was a sister. loyal and generous and wiser than she ever got credit for. i'll miss you u rever, my darlili. you are leaving a hole in our lives that can never be filled. - may i say something, please? [applause] - lucci. - thank you so much. and thank you, victoria, for so many, many, many years of work. rising before dawn to put on all that makeup... in a brave but futililattempt to hididthe ravages of time. and now, picturing her in a coffin reminds me of those performances. stiff and lifeless, held together with chemicals and glue. something best buried and forgotten. oh, victoria. and i've kept that promise. thank you. [applause] [all gasping] what? we all know i deserved to win that year. - - can't believe victoria is really gone. - i can't believe i miss her. - i'm worried about her. i mean, it gets down to 20 below in kafiristan. this is a woman who doesn't own ananhing
