Her son Jon Landau – the Oscar-winning producer of “Titanic” and “Avatar – took to social media to post pay tribute to his mother. 

“95+ incredible years. The top picture is me and my mom from when I was one year old, the bottom picture is from one week before her passing. Edie, thank you for all you taught me, thank you for the life example you always were, and thank you for all the love you bestowed on me. You will be in our hearts forever,” he wrote on Instagram.
