Actors Who Never Recovered After Their Co-Star Died

when a beloved actor dies millions of people who didn't even know them grieve in their own way but for their co-stars showing up to work without the person you've been acting alongside for years is tragic he rose to prominence while starring as Finn on the musical sitcom Glee but in 2013 Cory Monteith passed away after battling with addiction since his teenage years the entire cast struggled to deal with the loss especially his co-star Lea Michele whom he had been dating at the time of his death Michele said that eventually not acting was more painful than getting back in front of the camera she wanted to be surrounded by the Glee cast again after all she and Monteith both thought of the rest of the cast and crew as family plus she said that Monteith would not have wanted her to give up on her passion Michele explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show at the end of that year there is an empowerment that comes with grief at some point you find it it's very hard but you will find it and I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this or you can choose to rise and that's what I'm just trying to do my best for him because I know that that's what he would have Michelle still keeps Monteith's memory close she recently got a new tattoo that says Finn she post tributes to him every year if anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts please call or chat online with the National Suicide Prevention lifeline at 1-800 to 73 talk that's one eight hundred two seven three eight two five five four years Bob Einstein played Marty funkhauser on the long-running hit HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm catching Larry David in countless gaffes in January 2019 I'm Steen sadly passed away after battling cancer the death of Einstein shocked and saddened the cast David said never have I seen an actor enjoy a role the way Bob did playing Marty funkhauser on Curb it was an amazing unforgettable experience knowing and working with him there was no one like him as he told us again and again fans will undoubtedly miss his iconic gravelly voice and the humor he brought to the show despite the tragedy Jeff Garlin told The Daily Beast that they will not bring Einstein's death during the show's 10th season because he said there is no melancholy on Curb Your Enthusiasm basically they're not planning to kill off the character but there's a good chance that they will reference him in some way it might be the kind of episode that makes you laugh even while you shed a tear Bea Arthur and Betty White worked together on the hilarious NBC sitcom The Golden Girls which featured a group of over 50 women living together and finding humor in their old age there were always rumors of a feud simmering between Arthur and white but the co-star rue mcclanahan insisted that at the end of the day they're supposed Feud really came down to artistic differences McClanahan explained B came from a New York stage point of view she always had what we call the fourth wall and Betty came from a television point of view she would flirt with the audience and pull up her skirt and say hi sailor but B never acknowledged the audience when Arthur passed away in 2009 white was as heartbroken as any diehard Golden Girls fan after her death White said I knew it would hurt I just didn't know it would hurt this much yes Arthur and white would butt heads behind the scenes occasionally but underneath it all these two actresses had great respect for each other and Arthur was greatly missed when Disney Channel star Cameron boys passed away after a fatal seizure it was a harrowing wake-up call for his co-stars Boyce died young he was only 20 he should have had an amazing life and career ahead of him his descendants co-stars couldn't believe that he was gone dove Cameron who played Maul and considered Boyce a close friend said that his death reminded the cast just how precious life is in the wake of his passing The Descendants cast members were going out of their way to spend more time together Cameron told enews he just was everything that everybody says he is he he was from someplace else Cameron also got a tattoo to remember Boyce she chose a design with a flower coming out of a gun an international symbol for peace and anti-war movements dated that boys was working with an organization against gun violence before his death and she wanted to memorialize him as someone who cared deeply about peace as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher inspired a generation of sci-fi fans who fell in love with their Star Wars characters when the franchise was revived with the force awakens in 2015 legions of fans were thrilled to see them return to their roles and bring the story to life for a new generation of fans but when Fisher passed away in December 2016 Hamels view on the film's changed there's no doubt that Hamill loved Fisher and he cherished their friendship for life however her death affected his memories of Star Wars and he didn't have much motivation to return for future films Hamill told ABC news in 2018 rather than being sorry that we can have more of her I'm just grateful that we had the time with her that we did of course Fisher did appear in the rise of Skywalker via archived footage and Hamill made one last cameo as Luke's force ghost bringing the Skywalker saga to a close after 42 years John Ritter played Kaley cuoco's father on the sitcom 8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter and while they weren't actually related he still felt like a father figure to her his untimely death due to complications with a heart condition left her feeling lost and today she still thinks about him all the time Cuoco couldn't believe that Ritter was gone and the cast addressed his death in a touching episode of 8 simple rules KOCO continued moving forward in her acting career Landing a major role as penny on the Big Bang Theory but she never forgot about her wonderful experiences of working with Ritter on the 15th anniversary of his death in 2018 she revealed that there isn't a day that goes by when her memories with Ritter don't make her laugh at the same time she still mourns his loss her Big Bang Theory co-star Jim Parsons said I don't think she ever talks about him without tears in her eyes she's emotionally stable but there was definitely a fatherly bond when fans of Riverdale and Beverly Hills 90210 got the news that actor Luke Perry had passed away after having a stroke they were devastated and his former co-star shannen doherty took the loss on a deep personal level Doherty had worked with Perry on Beverly Hills 90210 where the pair played longtime love interests although the original show had ended years before Daugherty was still devastated by Perry's death he had supported her through thick and thin and stood by her side when she was fighting cancer when the 902 1o reboot was announced Dougherty originally did not plan on going back she did not think that the show really needed her but when she got the news about Perry's passing she had a new perspective she decided that she would return for the reboot after all and it would be the perfect way to keep his memory alive the actress revealed when Luke passed away things drastically changed for me and I felt like it was a great opportunity to honor him and I'm really glad I made that decision because now I get to sit up here with a lot of people that I respect and love sadly actress Debbie Reynolds passed away only one day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher fans of both women couldn't believe the news and Debra Messing who played Reynolds daughter Grace on the sitcom Will and Grace knew that her life would never be the same from the moment Messing met Reynolds she was struck by her bold presence Messing told Entertainment Weekly Debbie was really indescribable she would come on stage and she was abroad in the greatest sense she always was entertaining and singing and dancing and she was running off and doing a one-woman show you know 300 days of the year it was just crazy Messing always looked up to Reynolds and she knew that they couldn't let new episodes of the Will & Grace revival go by without taking the time to honor Reynolds the writers created an episode about Grace wanting her father to hold on to her childhood home rather than selling it because she didn't want to lose those memories of her mother now she still posts occasional tributes to Reynolds it's clear that she will never forget the time they spent together on set Alan Rickman was known for many different roles but millions of people knew him best as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films when he passed away in early 2016 fans of the series were heartbroken he brought this character from the books to life he played the sinister role so well that it was hard to believe he was such a kind and funny man when the camera wasn't rolling just take it from Daniel Radcliffe who grew up playing Harry Potter alongside Rickman Radcliffe explained in a statement after the actor's death as an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career Radcliffe said that Rickman has always supported him whether he was working on a movie or a play and that he wouldn't be the actor he is today without Rickman's guidance when Paul Walker died in a car accident his Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel lost a best friend after Walker's death diesel visited Walker's mom her house was his first stop after hearing the news diesel shared on Facebook his mother hugged me and said I am so sorry I said sorry you're the mother who lost a son she said yes but you lost your other half while filming Furious 7 diesel admitted that shooting the barbeque scene at the end of the film was very emotional in fact he had to step away for a few moments because he just couldn't believe that Walker wasn't there on set with the rest of the cast diesel told USA Today I had never done a barbeque scene without him and I just cracked and broke down and had to walk off set to collect myself that was the only time I wasn't strong enough to keep it together but the entire cast and crew wanted to make sure that they paid homage to Walker throughout the film finishing production with the help of the actors brothers and ending the story with a touching tribute to the departed comrade Harold Ramos and Bill Murray were an unstoppable comedy duo they work together on films like Ghostbusters and stripes and it seems like everything they touched turned to gold sadly the pair had a serious falling-out while working together on Groundhog Day they didn't speak for over two decades after sometimes in interviews Ramos would admit that he missed their friendship and that he hoped they could be friends again one day for the longest time it looked like they would never reconcile but when Murray found out that Ramos was on his deathbed everything changed his brother convinced him that he had to go visit Ramos Murray listened and the two finally made up upon his death Murray reminisced on their many achievements together Murray said Harold Ramis and I together did the National Lampoon show off-broadway meet stripes Caddyshack Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day he earned his keep on this planet god bless him superhero films haven't always earned glowing critical reviews particularly in a pre-2008 world but Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight was an exception Heath Ledger played the Joker to Christian Bale's Batman and although both actors were lauded for their performances Ledger's take on the Joker truly stood out Vale had a great respect for Ledger's talent he was truly a gifted actor and that was perhaps never more evident than it was in Christopher Nolan's game-changing epic when Ledger died several months before the release of the film Bale was shattered he told parade he was somebody who died been seeing on a daily basis for months it takes a long time to accept that someone's gone when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time he was something of a kindred spirit to myself Bale was disgusted by the way the media covered Ledger's death and he hoped that people could move past it and view his work on The Dark Knight as a celebration of his life it seems like bales wish came true it came as a surprise to no one when Ledger posthumously won an Oscar for the role check out one of our newest videos right here plus even more looper videos about your favorite stuff for coming soon subscribe to our YouTube

Lea seems to have "recovered" and seems happily married. Also she had that tattoo years ago so they didn't even do their homework.

Who are they to say they have not recovered?
