Not a dry eye at Schubert's final farewell

KUALA LUMPUR: The final farewell to Miss Malaysia-World 1991, actress and theatre personality Samantha Schubert, 47, was an intimate affair held on a grand scale.

Her husband Oliver Knott, 47, children Jodie, 12, Harry, 10 and Thomas, seven, followed behind the casket laden with lilies, her favourite flower, as it made its way to the altar at St John’s Cathedral, here, on Thursday as royalty, dignitaries, celebrities, the friends she grew up with and their parents, paid their last respects and mourned the loss of a dear friend and the “magic that was Samantha Schubert”.
