"I'd often said of my husband while he was alive that if you were a friend of Robert Altman's you were one of the luckiest people in the world," she said. "He was just one of those kinds of guys, and he got to be my husband. And so it was shocking when we lost him. It was unexpected.

"I'm surprised I'm not in tears," Carter continued. "Because every time I talk about him, it brings up tears. But after hearing [supermodel and David Bowie's widow] Iman, somehow hearing her gave me a little bit of courage ... that she has moved to the place that I am not there yet, but that gives me hope for finding out who I am without him because there is no witness to my life without him."
