Arleen Sorkin & Harley Quinn Tribute (w/ Interviews)

This is a tribute I made to the late Arleen Sorkin who passed away on August 24th, 2023 from Multiple Sclerosis. Her family asked to donate to National MS Society.

Statement from the family:

"We will always remember our dear Arleen for her immense generosity of spirit,"
“Talented, yes, and dogged, too, as evidenced by her tenacious, decades-long fight with a terrible disease. But more than that, she was a loving presence in the lives of her two boys, Eli and Owen; her mother, Joyce; her brothers, Robert and Arthur; and the countless other children, old and young, whom she took under her beautiful wing over the years."

"It's a sad day for us, but a joyous one, too, knowing how many people today are summoning her memory and smiling."
