KURT LUEDTKE:
I was very much honored by the company in which I was nominated. Frank Price made possible first the script and then the movie. Judith Thurman, Karen Blixen's biographer, was a rich source of intelligence and insight and invective, and became a friend. I am grateful to David Rayfiel for his help both writing and editing. Mrs. Gummer, thank you very much.
