We also said goodbye Tuesday, most tragically, to our pal Robert Garlock. The former PMK publicist who had become a partner with Leslee Dart in 42 West — he was only 41. He died of complications from pneumonia.
I met Robert in 1989 when he joined PMK as Allen Eichhorn's assistant. He was a gangly kid, almost like a giraffe. Over the years he grew (figuratively) into just about everyone's friend in the movie media business.
His clients included Griffin Dunne, Ellen Barkin and Clive Owen, all of whom joined about 75 of us Tuesday afternoon at the 42 West offices in an impromptu toast to Robert. His other clients who loved him included Penelope Cruz and Uma Thurman.
Robert's family will bury him at home in Ohio this week. I just hope they know he was the biggest star of all. His big wide grin will be sorely missed.
