“Hold my gaze.” Heartbroken by the news of our friend and mentor Len Goodman. It was a gloomy morning in Los Angeles which seemed appropriate after this exciting news. But when I think back to the memories we all shared with Len, his sense of humor, his smile and his charm, it all feels brighter and full of sunshine. Still hard to fully process but filled with gratitude knowing I had the privilege of working alongside this absolute legend. We will miss you dear Len. We love you ❤️ Rest In Peace my friend #dwts #lengoodman
