It was a movie Carradine was particularly excited to begin, and one that was finally beginning production after years of setbacks due to the pandemic. 

Now, in an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Lamothe has shared memories of working with 'Bobby' and plans to dedicate the movie to their late star.

Carradine, who was part of the Carradine acting dynasty that includes his brother Keith and late half-brother David, died by suicide after a nearly 20-year long battle with bipolar disorder on Monday. He was 71. 

'The last conversation was positive and upbeat,' she explained. 'He spoke to Wayne [Shipley, his friend/Lamothe's colleague] and was good to go. There was nothing that suggested otherwise. That was in the middle of January. The discussion was mostly about specifics for the table read.'
