It’s suspected he suffered from a medical emergency while driving and crashed his car into the side of a building. An absolute shame and devastating loss. Rest in power to Leslie Jordan.
Leslie performed off-Broadway in Lucky Guy(2011) and My Trip Down the Pink Carpet(2010 & 2009). He was also the playwright for the latter.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Leslie Jordan’s Instagram was a ray of light in the midst of the pandemic. He was a joy and brightened up any project he worked on. Rest in Paradise, Sweetheart.
He had a life! Ups and downs and ended on such a high note.
Not only did his popularity the past few years make so many people happy, he achieved a level of success he always wanted. I recall him recently sharing he bought his first home ever.
I was privileged to enjoy a brief but lovely chat with him on the ground floor level of the Marriott Marquis several years ago. What an engaging, funny and sweet man. May he rest in peace.

He filmed 9 episodes so far so his character will be around for a few more weeks. A tribute card will be at the end of this week’s episode. They paused production today on the episode being worked on.
In 2010, I saw him in his off-Broadway show. I do remember that I enjoyed myself tremendously. Leslie was endearing and naughty in a loveable way.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
