Despite their occasional disagreements, Amy Sherman-Palladino always held Edward Herrmann in high regard.
“He’s Ed Herrmann.
He’s worked with Woody Allen!

He was in ‘Reds’!

“So Ed came in.
He sat down and said, ‘I like it.
Should I read?'”
And, in a poignant tribute, an empty chair was left on stage in his place.
