Dana Delany says the recent death of her pal Bob Saget prompted her to seek medical care after she tumbled down a staircase.
The actress shared a photo of herself sporting a nasty black eye via Twitter on Friday, writing, “You should see the other guy.”
Delany, 65, thanked fans for their concern in a separate tweet that explained the scary fall.
“I fell down some iron stairs head first (totally sober!) & all I could think of was poor Bob Saget,” she recalled. “So I grabbed the handrail with my face. I was afraid it was fractured but thankfully, no. The folks at St John’s emergency took great care of me.🙏🏻”
Saget died last month in a Florida hotel room after performing a standup show. He was 65.
An autopsy later found that the “Full House” star died after accidentally suffering “blunt head trauma” during an apparent “unwitnessed fall.”
Delany starred in the 1996 TV movie “For Hope,” written and directed by Saget. She portrayed the actor’s late sister Gay who died of scleroderma at age 47.
The “Desperate Housewives” star said in a recent interview that she and Saget had been friends “for 35 years” and that he was “a well of deep emotion.”
“Bob was one of those guys that you could just call out of the blue and get right back into the groove,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’m so unhappy that I can’t pick up the phone now to call him and say how ridiculous it is that he’s dead. Bob would think it’s so absurd.”
