Katherine Helmond met artist David Christian when he was 19 years old, working as the set designer in a summer stock theater where Helmond, then 32, was the leading lady. “She was the love of my life,” Christian said. “We spent 57 beautiful, wonderful, loving years together, which I will treasure forever… The night she died, I saw that the moon was exactly half-full, just as I am now … half of what I’ve been my entire adult.”
