“He was able to tackle and discuss heated political conversations during difficult and charged times and we were able to laugh and learn. I yearn for those days. When creativity was a learning tool and could inspire people to maybe think just a little bit differently. And of course to laugh. Our greatest source of healing”, she continued.
Aniston also remembered him as “the kindest and gentlest man”, and how he made people feel like they were “the only one in the room”. “Even when someone believed differently than him. That’s what made life and people interesting to him. To have discussions and really take in how people felt and hear their point of view”.
She concluded saying: “May we take a page from Norman’s playbook as a way of honoring his life. An extraordinary life. Rest in peace, Norman. It was a gift to stand in your light”. Lear died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday (5), aged 101, according to a statement from his representatives. He is known for creating the 70s comedy series “All in the Family”.
