Heaven has opened its gates for another OG. James Lipton, best known as the legendary host of “Inside The Actor’s Studio,” has passed away after battling bladder cancer.
He was 93.
Via TMZ:
Lipton passed away peacefully Monday morning at his New York City home. His wife, Kedakai Turner, tells TMZ James had been battling bladder cancer. She adds, “There are so many James Lipton stories but I’m sure he would like to be remembered as someone who loved what he did and had tremendous respect for all the people he worked with.”
The man had a storied career in and around television and film. Of course, he served as the Dean Emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University in NYC for several years. And, he was responsible for spearheading his famous talk show, “Inside the Actors Studio” — James interviewed actors, big and small, to pick their brains about the craft.
Rest in peace, Mr. Lipton.
