It can happen at any age to anyone at any time but we tend to shield them from that stuff unless it can't be helped.

Cameron Boyce dead: ‘My heart is broken’ Jessie’s Peyton List shares tribute to co-star

CAMERON BOYCE’S Jessie co-star Peyton List addressed the news of the actor’s passing after he died at the age of 20, as the Disney Channel actress admitted wishing she could “hug him one last time”.

Peyton List, 21, took to Instagram to reveal she is “heartbroken” over the death of her Jessie co-star Cameron Boyce. The actor, who played Peyton’s on-screen brother Luke Ross, passed away at the age of 20 due to “a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition”, his family confirmed. Peyton, who starred in the Disney Channel series as Emma Ross, shared a poignant tribute to Cameron in view of her 14 million followers this evening. She wrote: “Cameron. The boy whose contagious laugh I can still hear. The boy who left everyone feeling hopeful and full of love.

“He was younger than me but taught me how to spread love and kindness more than anyone that has ever been in my life.

“He lifted everyone around him, and inspired/pushed me to be a better person than I ever would’ve been without his guidance, patience, and love.”

The actress continued: “I can barely see my eyes anymore from crying so hard. Cameron I love you with every ounce of me, and I thank you for the time I had with you, being in my life, and being my brother forever and always.

“There is a hole in my heart that will never heal left for you. I will never stop talking about you.”

Peyton then reflected on Cameron’s legacy, as she added: “My kids will hear about you with every lesson and your legacy will live on.

“Too much talent and love to go so soon. You left everyone including me better than when you found them.”

The star concluded: “Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Wish I could hug you one last time Cam. My heart is broken I’ve never hurt this bad. Your sister forever and always Peyton.”

In response to Peyton’s emotional post, Josie Totah, who starred alongside her in Jessie replied: “I love you Pey.”

American actor Cameron Monaghan, 25, added: “Beautifully said, Pey. The many times I met him through you, he was a force of energy, personality, kindness, and talent. The world lost a good one this weekend and I’m so sorry for your loss.”

Fellow Jessie actress Skai Jackson, 17, commented: “I love you so much.”

Skai also posted her own tribute to Cameron in view of her four million Instagram followers alongside a series of photos of the pair working together on set.

She added the caption: “I don’t even know where to start... I am at a loss for words. I never thought in a million years I would be writing this.

“Cam, you were one of a kind. My heart will be forever broken. I am so happy that I got to spend almost everyday with you on set, you gave the best hugs.”

Skai continued: “I wish I would have hugged you tighter when I saw you a couple of months ago. Thank you so much for being the big brother I never had...

“I am so distraught and I cannot stop crying! I love you so much... fly high Gods best Angel. #CameronBoyce.”

Cameron was also known for his role as Carlos in fantasy Disney Channel movie Descendants and as Keithie Feder in comedy films Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2.

Martin Charnin, the Tony-winning lyricist, writer, and librettist best known for creating and directing the Broadway musical Annie, has died at the age of 84. He died on Saturday in hospital in White Plains, New York, three days after suffering a heart attack, according to his daughter, Sasha.

With more than 40 productions to his credit, Charnin penned lyrics for seven Broadway musicals and directed seven shows as well. He won his Tony Award for best original score, with composer Charles Strouse, for Annie. The show, produced by Mike Nichols, won seven Tonys in all, including best musical and best actress in a musical for Dorothy Loudon, who originated the role of unscrupulous orphanage administrator Miss Hannigan.

Charnin also received three Emmys for his work on television variety specials and won a Grammy for Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," which sampled his lyrics from the Annie song of that name.

Ah, I always liked Rip Torn. RIP

 

[C. Lee]

Torn had so many great roles....both comedic and serious.

 

[Teelie]

I had no idea Rip Torn was 88. Both he and Perot today. Surprising for both even though they were nearly 90.

LOVED him in the 2 MIB films RIP, Rip

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Aw man, Rip Torn was great. Sad he kind of fell out of the spotlight in later years and had a couple of episodes. Loved him in MiB, and have a stupid soft spot for Freddy Got Fingered. Rest In Peace.

 

[Drizzle]

I always enjoyed Rip Torn any time I watched him in a role, especially in Dodgeball. RIP Rip.

Former Yankees pitcher, controversial baseball author Jim Bouton dies after battle with dementia

 

[C. Lee]

I remember when Bouton's book came out....he took a lot of hell for it (he wrote a sequel called I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY)......he starred as himself in a short comedy series based on his first book.

Torn had so many great roles....both comedic and serious.

One of his earliest roles, and my personal favorite, is that of Judas Iscariot in 1961's King of Kings. It isn't mentioned much since Torn had such an illustrious career, but he did an amazing job at showing Judas as a conflicted character.

Yup. As a result of "Ball Four," he was banned from Old Timers' Day for many, many years. The Yahoo! article I posted said he was only allowed to take part last year, but I seem to recall he was in another Old Timers' ceremony years before.

Found it. He was also there in 1998: Old Timers' Day - Bouton returns to Yankee stadium
