Paul Walker, Cory Montieth Death: Actors Honored at SAG Awards
Year 2013 saw the loss of two young and talented Hollywood actors, Cory Montieth and Paul Walker. Both the actors were remembered at the 2014 Screen Guild Awards on Jan. 18 in the memoriam segment.
Cory is one of the youngest stars lost by the Hollywood fraternity this year. The actor is best known for his role of Finn Hudson in Glee. He was found dead in a hotel in Vancouver, Canada due to drug over dose.
At the event snippets from Cory's personal life were shown. He was shown hugging hi reel and real life girlfriend Lea Michele and was also shown closing his locker at McKinley High school ( Glee).
Montieth's death came as a shock to his family, Lea Michele and his fans. Lea has recently release her album "Louder" which has two songs inspired from her relationship with Montieth.
"I literally lived every day of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. I just thought he was the greatest man," Lea Michele said while preforming Ellen.
Paul Walker whom we last on Nov 30 was also remembered in the awards. He was shown driving a car.
The actor died in a tragic car crash on with his friend Rogar Rodas. Since the actor's sudden passing away, his family and friends have decided to keep Paul's charity "Reach Out WorldWide" going.
One of the closest friends to Paul Walker, Tyerse Gibson said in Aresenio Hall on Jan. 13,
"Basically when there's huge traumatic areas like Hurricane Katrina, [or] when earthquakes happen in certain places around the world, [Reach Out Worldwide] goes out there by the numbers, and they help people out in these areas so he was raising money the day that he died, "adding, "We just wanna keep his memory and his legacy of what he stood for going. And we just love y'all and thank y'all for the prayers. The family thanks y'all, and we thank y'all for all of the energy."
Other actors who were remembered at the show include James Avery of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, August Schellenberg of Free Willy and Lee Thompson Young of The Famous Jett Jackson.
