Leslie Jordan has died at age 67. The Call Me Kat star was killed following a car accident on Monday, October 24, his rep confirmed to Us Weekly.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” Jordan’s representative, David Shaul of BRS/Gage Talent Agency, said in a statement to Us. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of it”s most difficult times.
