Remember How I Love You: Love Letters from an Extraordinary Marriage

Every morning for the thirteen years he was on Law & Order Jerry Orbach wrote his wife a short love poem and placed it next to her coffee cup before he left for work. Over the years Jerry wrote hundreds of notes -- all of which Elaine cherished and preserved. Now dozens of Jerrys most meaningful poems to Elaine along with stories from his amazing career and their enduring romance tell the tale of their life together. With essays from some of Jerrys dearest friends and a foreword by Sam Waterston Elaine created a collection of funny and moving poetry and a tribute to a wonderful marriage and a dearly loved man. The world remembers Jerry as a legendary Broadway actor Babys father in Dirty Dancing and of course the wisecracking detective Lenny Briscoe on Law & Order. But to his widow Elaine Jerry was a poet...and the love of her life.
