She also posted a photo of herself posing with Leslie, who is sitting in a sweater holding a fluffy dog. Her followers were quick to respond, with one writing: “I was surprised to see that Mr. Leslie Jordan had left! On Call Me Kat and Will and Grace, he was hilarious! Well? I guess there’s a little more laughter in heaven now!”
Someone else added: “I just learned about this and am trying not to cry at work. He was fantastic; so funny and genuine. I was only a fan, not someone who worked with him or knew him, but oh, how I will miss him. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and his family and friends.”
Pauley posted a photo of herself with Leslie.
On Monday morning, the Emmy-winning actor was driving in Hollywood when he crashed into the side of a building while suffering from a medical emergency. “The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” his rep said in a statement. Not only was he a huge talent and a joy to work with, but he also provided an emotional haven for the country during one of its most difficult times.”
On Will & Grace, actor Sean Hayes posted a photo of the couple together with the caption: “My heart is shattered. Leslie Jordan was one of the most amusing people I’ve ever worked with. Everyone who met him adored him. Nobody will ever be like him. A one-of-a-kind talent with a huge, caring heart. My dear friend, you will be missed.”
