Actor Willie Garson, who was a regular in HBO's "Sex and the City" comedy series and co-star of the two feature films based on the show, died Tuesday at the age of 57. The cause was pancreatic cancer. Garson reprised the role of Stanford Blatch, the gay talent agent and friend of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker, pictured below with the actor), in the upcoming SATC reboot for HBO Max, "And Just Like That..." “The Sex and the City family has lost one of its own. Our amazing Willie Garson,” series creator and executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement. “His spirit and his dedication to his craft was present every day filming 'And Just Like That...' He was there – giving us his all – even while he was sick. His multitude of gifts as an actor and person will be missed by everyone. In this sad, dark moment we are comforted by our memory of his joy and light.” The New Jersey-born actor, whose birth name was William Garson Paszamant, is survived by his adopted son Nathen. Garson portrayed the presumed presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald three times -- twice in 1992. In a two-part episode of the NBC sci-fi/fantasy series "Quantum Leap," Garson's Oswald (pictured below with series co-star Dean Stockwell) came close to killing someone other than President Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Also that year, Garson appeared as Oswald in "Ruby," the feature film about Jack Ruby, the Dallas nightclub owner who shot and killed the murder suspect on November 24, 1963. Danny Aiello starred as the title character. In 1995. Garson appeared as Oswald in a "MADtv" sketch on FOX. Garson played several different characters during the seven-year run of the ABC sitcom "Boy Meets World" (and he even directed an episode of the2015 spinoff, "Girl Meets World"). But he was a key presence at the wedding of series sweethearts Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel) and Cory Matthews (Ben Savage). The Season 7 episode, titled "It's About Time," originally aired on Nov 5, 1999. From 2009 to 2014, Matt Bomer and Garson played friends who also were adept con men in the USA drama series "White Collar." In the 2010 feature film "Sex and the City 2," Carrie's best gay friend married Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone, pictured below right) -- the best gay friend of Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis). Liza Minnelli officiated the wedding. Matt Bomer @MattBomer I love you forever Willie Garson. Rest in peace my friend.

Last year, "Schitt's Creek" set a record by sweeping the major comedy categories at the Primetime Emmy Awards. A year later, "The Crown" followed suit by winning the awards for Outstanding Drama Series, Directing (Peter Morgan), Writing (Morgan), Lead Actor (Josh O'Connor), Actress (Olivia Colman), Supporting Actor (Tobias Menzies) and Supporting Actress (Gillian Anderson). It was the first Emmy win for Colman, who received a 2018 Academy Award for her performance as Britain's Queen Anne in "The Favourite." It was likely her last chance to win for her portrayal of the middle-aged Queen Elizabeth II of the U.K. "The Crown" will change cast members for its fifth and final season, with the veteran actress Imelda Staunton taking on the role of the older queen. Incidentally, Claire Foy, who won a 2018 Emmy for her version of Elizabeth, received a Guest Performance award last week for reprising the royal role. Colman, who had lost three previous Emmy bids, was something of a surprise winner Sunday night. She competed in the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series category with co-star Emma Corrin, who had earned a lion's share of earlier awards for her portrayal of the queen's ill-fated daughter-in-law, Princess Diana. O'Connor, Menzies and Anderson were rewarded for their portrayals of Prince Charles, Prince Phillip and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, respectively. This year's Outstanding Comedy Series prize went to Apple +'s "Ted Lasso," which starred Jason Sudeikis as an American transplanted to the United Kingdom as a soccer coach. Sudeikis earned the Comedy Actor award; his co-stars Brett Goldstein and Hannah Waddingham picked up supporting honors. Here are the overall winners from Sunday night's 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on CBS: 1.

Bob Strauss @bscritic From what I remember of #ThePTLClub, #TheEyesOfTammyFaye doesn't come close to capturing the true weirdness of that show and everything that went on around it.
