Important correction for your overlay: Text says "(Born: 1937) Age: 89" — Helmut passed away peacefully March 28, 2022 on Long Island at 84 after a stroke — so he would NOT be 89 in 2026. This photo is from 90s/2000s, their prime red-carpet era. If you post this in 2026, please change caption to "(1937-2022) 52 years together" to avoid misinfo — followers will correct you in comments otherwise.

Susan at 79 in 2026 still says: "Helmut is with me every day."
