Those who knew or watched Leslie Jordan throughout the COVID-19 pandemic are well aware of the impact he had on people during that hard and trying time period, and they made sure to shine a light on it following his reported death.
“Leslie Jordan put a smile on the faces of so many, especially with his pandemic videos,” tweeted “Wonder Woman” actor Lynda Carter. “What a feat to keep us all laughing and connected in such difficult times,” she said. “It feels so cruel that this could happen to such a beautiful soul.”
Comedian and former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres wrote: “I just heard about Leslie Jordan. This is unbelievably tragic. He was such a light.”
Former “The View” host Meghan McCain said: “[Jordan’s videos] during Covid brought millions of people such joy as did his legacy career in entertainment. He was also just a kind, sweet lovely man.”
A longtime California resident, Jordan reportedly died on the morning of October 24 following a car crash in Hollywood. Police sources told TMZ that he suffered a medical emergency before the accident, but it’s still unclear what happened exactly. Jordan was still actively working at the time of his death and had actually just wrapped up shooting a film with Canadian director Tracy Pellegrino called “Strangers in a Strange Land.” His last social media post came on October 23 and featured him singing alongside country singer Danny Myrick. The very last on-screen role that Jordan had before his tragic death was on Fox’s “Call Me Kat,” which just premiered its third season.
