Cross added that Smith appeared very vulnerable, and very, very funny."
Smith and Stephens divorced in 1975 and she subsequently married Cross the same year.
They remained married until he died in 1998.

But usually you’ve got the option to find a funny side to practically anything.”
This icon will surely be missed.
