Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and James Cameron have paid tribute to producer Jon Landau, who died on Friday at age 63.
“Jon was an incredibly kind, wise, and empathetic soul, who wanted to create nothing but a positive impact on anyone or anything approached,” DiCaprio said in a statement of the late producer on Sunday,. “His legacy and leadership will live on forever. My condolences are with his entire family. Rest in peace; you will be deeply missed.
“Jon Landau was the kindest and best of men,” she said. “He was a man who was rich with compassion and exceptional at supporting and nurturing teams of phenomenal creative people.”“His strength in life was knowing the importance of family, at home and at work,” Winslet continued. “He was always full of smiles and gratitude. I can’t believe I am writing this, can’t believe he is gone.”
Director James Cameron, with whom Landau formed a close working partnership for a fruitful three decades, shared a statement on Saturday: “The family grieves the loss of our friend and leader, Jon Landau. His zany humor, personal magnetism, great generosity of spirit and fierce will have held the center of our universe for almost two decades. His legacy is not just the films he produced, but the personal example he set — indomitable, caring, inclusive, tireless, insightful and utterly unique.
