Uzo Aduba Instagram – Norman Lear. A titan of industry who created lasting and thrilling work that, not only entertained, but actively challenged long standing social ideals and norms all while helping to advance the power of the television medium forward. Great work is meant to do just this. I had the pleasure of meeting @thenormanlear on one occasion, and he was just so gentle, so kind. Thank you for your characters, your worlds, your stories. They live on forever in the real and in my memory of summer vacations from school, watching reruns of your shows. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to his family, his friends, and to all those who knew and loved him. May he rest in perfect peace.
