"She was a person who did not insist that her personality take over the character," her co-star Dreyfuss said on hearing of her death. "Glenne Headly was this fantastically talented actress, who buried her personality beneath the character she was playing. And it is very rare that you run into that. And at the same time, she was sweet and funny and happy on the set."
