Fox News
Celebrities were quick to take to social media to celebrate the life and career of late television icon, Ed Asner.
"We are sorry to say that our beloved patriarch passed away this morning peacefully. Words cannot express the sadness we feel. With a kiss on your head- Goodnight dad. We love you," the tweet reads. He was perhaps best known for playing Lou Grant on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its subsequent dramatic spinoff, "Lou Grant." The role made Asner a household name throughout the country. However, as Deadline notes, Asner was the former president of the Screen Actors Guild as well as the most decorated male performer in Emmy history, with seven wins under his belt. This also made him one of the most important figures in Hollywood for a time.More Related News
