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.

Possibly....................
BTW, this is why we should still use the term “actress”. I would have assumed Leslie was a female except for the adjective “actor”.
Incidentally, Cahuenga and Romaine is the location of the iconic MGM studios. The studio produced such successes as Grand Hotel (1932), David Copperfield (1935), The Good Earth (1937), The Women (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Mrs. Miniver (1942), Gaslight (1944), and The Asphalt Jungle (1950). It was associated with some famous epics, producing both versions of Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, 1962) and Ben-Hur (1925, 1959) and acting as a major financer and the sole distributor of David O. Selznick’s Gone with the Wind (1939). It produced such popular series as the “Thin Man,” “Andy Hardy,” “Topper,” “Maisie,” “Dr. Kildare,” “Our Gang,” and “Lassie.” MGM, however, became especially celebrated for its lavish musicals, including The Wizard of Oz (1939), Ziegfeld Girl (1941), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), Easter Parade (1948), On the Town (1949), Annie Get Your Gun (1950), Show Boat (1951), An American in Paris (1951), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), The Band Wagon (1953), Kiss Me Kate (1953), Silk Stockings (1957), and Gigi (1958).
67-MyAge = Years Left
Dang
I thought it was just a bad picture but an internet search shows him looking consistently older than his true years.
Here is a photo of him from one of his first movies, when he was just 25 years old. I guess he never had to worry about being carded.
Funny guy. Loved him in ‘The CoolKids’. He was the only thing good about ‘Call me Kat’, but even he couldn’t make that show watchable.
Was he on his way to work?
May he rest in peace.
Never heard of him, I don’t watch gay shows.
I agree. Even my wife tried to like that show; it sucks!
Darnit, I missed Gutfeld that night.
He looks like a fully vaxxed and booste’d liberal.
never heard of him, never watched any of those shows.
I liked that little guy’s humor. Reminds me of a mini-Lindsey... Only funny and maybe a whole lot more honest.
He was really funny. And his Southern accent made him even funnier.
Very squeaky, very southern and very gay. I sincerely liked his comedy.
Yes, he was gay.
Don’t forget Leslie Nielsen.

The article doesn't say.
That’s not Leslie Jordan.
