RIP: Leslie Jordan

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Posting details in a few....

edit: Varity says....

Leslie Jordan, an Emmy-winning actor, writer and singer best known for his roles in “Will & Grace,” “American Horror Story” and “Hearts Afire,” has died. He was 67.


Jordan was driving in Hollywood Monday morning and crashed into the side of a building at Cahuenga Blvd. and Romaine St. It was suspected he suffered some sort of medical emergency.


Jordan was a veteran actor whose credits also included “The Help,” “The Cool Kids” and “Call Me Kat,” which is currently airing its third season on Fox. In 2006, he won the Emmy Award for guest actor in a comedy series for his work on “Will & Grace,” on which he played Karen’s sexually ambiguous, socialite frenemy Beverly Leslie.

......

Jordan released a gospel music album titled “Company’s Comin'” in 2021 and, later that year, appeared as a guest panelist on “The Masked Singer,” where he performed gospel standard “This Little Light of Mine.”


“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” said David Shaul, Jordan’s agent. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times. What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.”

RIP to an LGBT icon

.

If anyone wants to celebrate Leslie Jordan's talent, I highly suggest the hilarious series & film "Sordid Lives", Leslie is a powerhouse as Brother Boy and the cast is a dream, Olivia Newton John, Delta Burke, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia... if u ever spent time in "the South" its a fun little time capsule.

if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2

He said he wanted to be remembered like Dolly Parton would be: everyone loves her, has nothing but positive things to say about her and there's always a fun story.

I'd say mission: accomplished.

I saw Leslie twice in his one man show in NYC and boy this guy had great comedy timing. Glad to see he got better known. So sad to hear about his passing this morning. He was actually working on some new music lately and was gonna release an album. Goodbye Funny Man. Rest well Leslie.
