Carol Burnett is remembering longtime costume designer Robert Gordon "Bob" Mackie.
The legendary comedic actress, in a statement to USA TODAY on Monday, Sept. 14, called the fashion icon a "genius."
"Sadness doesn't come close to how I feel. I loved him very much," she wrote. "As for his genius, there are fashion designers who don't do costumes and there are costume designers who don't do fashion. Bob did it all. There was no one like him."
Burnett, 93, and Mackie, who died Sept. 14 at age 87, were longtime collaborators, starting in 1967 with his work on "The Carol Burnett Show."
