Edward Herrmann — star of The Lost Boys and Gilmore Girls — has died, his manager told BuzzFeed News.
"Having valiantly braved months of treatment for brain cancer, Edward Herrmann passed peacefully at 8:30 a.m. today at Sloan Kettering hospital in New York City," Herrmann's talent agent, Robyn Stecher, wrote in a prepared statement. He was 71.
The Tony and Emmy winner had most recently appeared on The Good Wife, ABC's Black Box, and How I Met Your Mother.
While Herrmann was celebrated for his stage work and his performance as Franklin D. Roosevelt in a trio of TV movies, he is, perhaps, most beloved for playing Richard Gilmore, the stern but lovable patriarch on Gilmore Girls.
Rest in peace, Edward Herrmann.
