Summary
Richies, sadly we are saying goodbye to yet another Hollywood icon. “Will & Grace” star Leslie Jordan died tragically yesterday at the age of 67 after suffering an undisclosed “medical emergency” while driving his car. After news of his death was reported, stars who knew and worked with Leslie flocked to their social media to mourn his passing and universally pay tribute to a man they said was as great a person as he was a comedic actor. And Leslie definitely deserves his props. In addition to a stellar career in film, TV and stage, Leslie also became a social media star for his hilarious “hunker down” Instagram videos during the height of lockdown. Leslie Jordan was a shining light in every aspect of his life. And even though he’s gone way too soon, he will not soon be forgotten by his millions of fans.
