‘Sex and the City’ Stars Mourn Willie Garson After He Dies At 57: ‘This Is A Tragedy’

‘Sex and the City’ stars are ‘devastated’ and ‘overwhelmed’ after hearing about Willie Garson’s heartbreaking death.

The stars of Sex and the City are devastated beyond belief after learning about Willie Garson‘s passing. After the actor’s friends and family revealed the shocking news of his death on Sept. 21, Willie’s co-stars took to social media to mourn him and share their grief.

“I couldn’t have had a more brilliant TV partner. I’m devastated and just overwhelmed with Sadness. Taken away from all of us way soon. You were a gift from the gods sweet Willie. Rest …I love you,” Mario Cantone, who played Willie’s on-screen love interest in the Sex and the City movies, wrote on Instagram. Meanwhile, Evan Handler, who plays Charlotte York’s husband Harry Goldenblatt took to Twitter and said, “This is a tragedy for the entire #SATC #AJLT family, for Willie’s family, and for the world. Willie was a prince, the Mayor of every group he ever existed within, and – most importantly – a parent. My heart grieves for his son. A consumate funny man. Bless you.”

Cynthia Nixon shared a photo of herself with Willie on Instagram and said, “So deeply, deeply sad we have lost @Willie.Garson. We all loved him and adored working with him. He was endlessly funny on-screen and and in real life. He was a source of light, friendship and show business lore. He was a consummate professional — always. My heart goes out to his son, @Nathen_Garson. Nathen, I hope you know how much he loved you and how proud he was to be your dad.”

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Chris Noth have yet to break their silence on this heartbreaking news, but HollywoodLife reached out for comments, following the actor’s passing. HBO told us, “Willie Garson was in life, as on screen, a devoted friend and a bright light for everyone in his universe. He created one of the most beloved characters from the HBO pantheon and was a member of our family for nearly twenty-five years. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing and extend our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.”

A Sex and the City revival series, titled And Just Like That, is set to premiere later this year on HBO Max. Willie had already filmed a number of scenes for the new series.
