The cast of Will & Grace is breaking their silence after the death of Shelley Morrison.
Megan Mullally, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, and Sean Hayes have taken to social media on Sunday night (December 1) to remember their late co-star.
“Such sad news. Our beloved Shelley Morrison passed away today,” Sean wrote on Instagram. “She was absolutely hilarious and had the biggest heart. She was a part of our Will and Grace family and will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to her entire family. ❤️”
Shelley played Rosario, Karen’s (Mullally) outspoken housekeeper on the original series from 1999 to 2006 and made a cameo in the 2016 webisode in support of Hillary Clinton‘s presidential campaign.
When Will & Grace was revived in 2017, Shelley declined to return to the show as she had retired from acting.
Our thoughts are with Shelley‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Oh, Shelley… what a loss. Our dear Rosario has passed on. Shelley had a career that spanned decades, but she will always be our dear Rosie. All my love to Walter and the entire family. #shelleymorrison 😢 https://t.co/3cWY6gdCYQ

Shelley was a beautiful soul & a wonderful actor. Her work as Rosario, season after season, was as nuanced and real as it was hysterical. She will be missed by everyone at #WillandGrace, she’s a huge part of it. Sending so much love to Walter and Shelley’s whole family. #Rosario https://t.co/C1vkDTU6Qk
