Happy birthday to you my darling Edie. You are eternally youthful, yesterday, today and always. You will always live in our hearts , and we will keep you close in our thoughts, because you always remind us of the child that lives within each of us and you help us remember our innate goodness. Thank you for your bravery, your dignity and your grace. You truly are a spiritual warrior, for you are not afraid of yourself or this world that can ³GET YOU FOR WEARING RED SHOES ON A THURSDAY². Keep inspiring us forever.

Your faithful friend, Christine (Ebersole)

I've come "on board" so to speak pretty late in the game. I feel however as I've known you forever. Maybe it's that part of you that I've known in myself for all these years that makes me feel so close. I enjoy seeing you speak and sing and dance, but know from a VERY close friend that you are so much more than that. I admire the courage you had to just be you... Happy 90th..

I consider having known Edie 30 years ago a gift and a privledge. Edie taught me that being different and being "out there" is not only just "OK', but it is to be celebrated ! So, today, I celebrate you on your 90th ! You will be with me always.

I've only "known" Edie for a few months, but she's already become a huge part of my life. I was introducted to her through the Broadway Musical. As strange as she was, I felt connected to her. I then watched the documentary and the connection grew even stronger. I now feel like I know Edie quite well. I get her. I can't figure out what it is about her that makes me love her so much. All I know is that she'll always be a part of me. Happy 90th Birthday, Edie.

Stay Staunch.

Thanks for the NYC memories from 1980-1983 and for inviting me to Grey Gardens for the interview back in 1976! I think you will like my book and would approve of the CD! They are both loving tributes to you. I love you and miss you.

Happy 90th,

Dear Edie,

Your fortitude, your creativity, your decency and integrity, your expressions of sacrifice and loss, your humor and your charm have touched me deeply. Now when I need a dose of courage or strength, I think of you. If the Pulitzer were awarded for the best display of an attribute, it would have to go to you for, yes, showing us what it means to be staunch. Thank you for that, Edie. And Edie, if all they serve up there is Angel Food cake, I'm sure it's intended as a compliment. Happy Birthday, Dear.

Love, Mia Lancaster

Edie,

Thank you for being a constant inspiration and wonder for the world to behold. Your legacy lives on in those hearts you've touched. Its because of you I aim for greatness. We remember you not only at this time each year, but everyday whilst exhibiting "staunch"-ness. God bless, Edie.

I never will forget the day you walked into my shop on Waverly Place with your friend Birdie Bloch . You were preparing for your show at Reno Sweeney's .

You charmed me off my feet and they haven't touched ground since ! I remember after our short introduction and conversation about the theatre and growing up on Long Island , thinking " my God , I wish I could have preserved those moments" . It seems I have , they've been here in my heart all along . ,P. Happy birthday my lovely Edie and God bless . You'll always have a place in my heart and in the hearts of all the people you touched !

Love,

Christopher J. Florio
