‘Jill was a total spitfire of an actress with comedic timing straight out of a Marx Brothers’ flick and Hollywood glamor right from its golden age.
‘Jill took us on so many adventures and she was an absolute blast. Thank you, Jill. We’ll see you in our dreams.’
‘Jill’s comic timing was brilliant,’ Caryn Richman, Jacobson’s The New Gidget co-star remembered. ‘And her enthusiasm and love of life made our time together on set joyful.’
