Jennifer Aniston pays tribute to Norman Lear. He was 101 years old, he died of natural causes at his home on Tuesday.
Norman was a TV writer and a producer. He wrote for TV shows such as 'All in the Family', 'The Jeffersons', 'Good Times' and 'One Day at a Time'.
Aniston wrote on her Instagram,
"Norman Lear. 💔 His shows shaped my childhood and getting to know him was one of my greatest honors. He made such a difference. A huge impact on television and humanity. He was able to tackle and discuss heated political conversations during difficult and charged times and we were able to laugh and learn. I yearn for those days. When creativity was a learning tool and could inspire people to maybe think just a little bit differently. And of course to laugh. Our greatest source of healing.
He was the kindest and gentlest man. When you were in his presence, you were the only one in the room. He made everyone feel this. Even when someone believed differently than him. That’s what made life and people interesting to him. To have discussions and really take in how people felt and hear their point of view. He knew how to give voice to all sides and somehow in the process bring people closer together. May we take a page from Norman’s playbook as a way of honoring his life. An extraordinary life".
"Rest in peace Norman. It was a gift to stand in your light.
🕊️❤️".
