I hadn't heard this yet and am so sorry to hear it.

I didn't know he and SJP were good friends away from the show but there always appeared to be such a loving chemistry (on the show) between them that I didn't notice with anyone else.

Stanny, may you rest in peace. I loved he and Mario Cantone on the show.

Willie Garson was a proud parent of one child, his son Nathen. He was also an advocate for organizations that help children find homes through adoption.

Oh nooo....I just loved him. He was one of SATC's most endearing characters and he played Stanford so well.

I'm so sad to hear this~much too young. May he RIP. 😔 ps. Cancer sucks! Period, end of story.

@amyb He did play Stanford well. In the article I read about his death, it said he was straight! Never knew that! He even met SJP when someone set them up on a blind date.

I know...I had to keep being reminded he was straight! He played that sweet, vulnerable, funny Stanford like he was real. I wanted a Stanford bff...I mean what girl didn't?!

If you can find it, I don't think I can post the link here...his adopted son wrote the sweetest Instagram tribute to him, with an endearing photo, makes me sad...anyway, it was in one of the articles I read on him on BBC news site.

A real loss. One of the many factors that made SATC truly iconic television.

I also read he was straight, but so often cast as a gay man. He adopted Nathan when he was 7, very lucky kid !!!

@amyb I saw what Nathen posted yesterday when I read news of Garson's death. Thanks though

I also saw what his son wrote (on another board) this morning. It was lovely. This is just so sad. So young. I mostly knew him from SATC and I think they are still filming the new one, IIRC.

Breaks my heart.
