While she seemed in good spirits on the red carpet, the actress shared her sadness at the loss of her friend in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on Monday. "I met David Bowie when I was 14 and he became a hero to me — because he was an artist, and because he was a genius who had the time to be kind," she said.
