Abigail Breslin Instagram – Alan Arkin was one of the kindest, wittiest and most lovely human beings I have had the privilege of working with. I remember when we were doing the “am I pretty?” scene in Little Miss Sunshine and on the first take, he yelled out to “cut!” and get my mother immediately because I was crying. I said, “No, Alan I’m acting!”, and he cracked up. I love that story because that’s who Alan was. He cared deeply about his work, but above all and most importantly, he was a genuinely kind and thoughtful man. Dearest, Alan… you will be profoundly missed. Thank you for everything. My sincerest condolences and love are sent to his family, including his beautiful wife Suzanne. Although we were not related in real life, you will always be “Grandpa” in my heart. Rest peacefully. <3
