Actor and comedian Leslie Jordan, who died after suffering a medical emergency and crashing into a wall in Hollywood last year, will be honored next month with the 462nd star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars.
"We are immensely thankful that we have the honor to pay tribute to the remarkably talented and dearly departed, Leslie Jordan, with the 462nd star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars,'' Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce CEO Nona Watson said in a statement.
"Leslie Jordan was my friend, my muse, my confidant, my brother for over 37 years. Leslie would love this honor,'' Del Shores said in a statement. "He adored Palm Springs and gave back to this beautiful community for decades. I miss him every day, we all do.'' Jordan was an actor, playwright, comedian, and gay icon known for his turns in "Will and Grace'' and "Sordid Lives.''
In acting, he has appeared in over 130 movies and TV shows including "American Horror Story,'' "The Cool Kids,'' "Boston Legal,'' "The Help,'' and "Call Me Kat.'' As a comedian, Jordan sold out multiple tours.
