“Norman Lear dies so ALIVE! Working and wondering until the end how he can add to the experience of art, family, and democracy,” he continued. “He was surrounded by love and laughter and his deep belief in the American dream and possibilities and founded @peoplefor_ an organization that I hope you will donate to today in his honor.”
The actor went on to reminisce about how he got hold of the very limited 1776 Declaration of Independence document that gave few Americans the chance to “see the document that was the beginning of our country.”
He also noted that they worked together on projects before his death and went on to call him a “great example” to him and millions of others.
“What a life. We will continue! Thank you, Norman Lear!” the actor concluded.
