Michael Lerner, 81
Michael, an Oscar-nominated actor, passed away at the age of 81. His nephew, Sam Lerner, an actor himself, took to Instagram to express his grief: “It’s hard to put into words how brilliant my uncle Michael was, and how influential he was to me. His stories always inspired me and made me fall in love with acting. He was the coolest, most confident, and extremely talented, and the fact that he was my blood will always make me feel special. His friends know how amazing and one-of-a-kind he was— in the best way.”
