James Earl Jones has died at the age of 93. He will forever be remembered as Darth Vader and Mufasa in The Lion King. May he rest peacefully.

The news of James Earl Jones just came though my FB feed. What a huge loss.
He had such a storied career and so many great roles, but the first one I thought of is A Family Thing from the 90s, where he and Robert Duvall played long lost brothers. Watching those two masters bounce off one another was a treat.

He had such a wonderful and distinct voice, I will miss him. May he Rip.

93 is a good life and in the end, it is our loss. May he rest in peace.

93 is a good life and in the end, it is our loss. May he rest in peace. Amazing that he stuttered early in life and didn't speak at all from age 8 to 14 and yet we all remember him for his voice.

What a king. Right now I'm feeling a little like Simba after Mufasa fell off the mountain. So many good roles; loved him in "Coming to America" and "Driving Miss Daisy." A gute mensch and a class act.

I remember the character but I don't think I realized who the actor was. So young, very sad.

I've followed her career since she was featured in the documentary, First Position. This is a huge loss. No cause of death has been given.

I heard about that earlier and my jaw dropped. Words cannot describe what a loss this is. She was so, so, incredibly talented.

This is the saddest news. Although at least she died without having to go through the pain of losing a daughter. But, ugh. I can't even think of it, or I'll cry.

When I first saw the news, I thought it was a Carrie Fisher / Debbie Reynolds situation. The only mercy was that Michaela’s mother didn’t know. I can’t imagine what Michaela’s father and sister are going through. All those two girls went through in their young lives and now this 💔
