Love Quote by David Keith

The line reads like a casual compliment, but it’s really a piece of professional choreography. When David Keith says, "I'd worked with Mel Harris before, I love working with her, she's great", he’s doing more than praising a co-star: he’s signaling safety. In an industry where reputations travel faster than credits, a veteran actor publicly vouching for a colleague is a kind of soft power. It reassures casting directors, producers, and audiences that the set was functional, the collaboration was smooth, the interpersonal weather was good.

The repetition is the tell. "Worked with... before" establishes history (not a PR-arranged acquaintance). "I love working with her" shifts from resume to emotion, implying ease and trust. Then "she's great" lands as the broad, uncontroversial seal: no specifics, nothing quotable enough to spark a headline, just a clean endorsement. That vagueness is intentional; it keeps the statement universally usable. In press settings, specificity can be a liability. General warmth is currency.

There’s also a subtle reclaiming of agency. Actors are constantly framed as replaceable parts in a machine; this kind of quote asserts that chemistry and professionalism matter, that relationships are part of the craft. Coming from Keith, whose career spans studio-era expectations and modern media scrutiny, the sentence functions as a bridge: old-school collegiality delivered in the clipped language of contemporary promotion. It’s less confession than code: she’s dependable, and I’m easy to work with too.
