Elaine Stritch: Hollywood stars mourn loss of Broadway legend
Elaine Stritch certainly left an impression on Hollywood.
After word came Thursday that the Broadway veteran had died at 89, many stars took to social media to pay tribute to the sharp-tongued actress.
Among them was Stritch's "30 Rock" co-star and on-screen son Alec Baldwin, who described her as a "true one in a million."
"I'm sure that God is a bit nervous right now. I love you, Elaine," Baldwin added in a separate post, before sharing a picture of himself and Stritch on the "30 Rock" set:
Thanks to all who took time to remember the one and only

Elaine Stritch man. Hell of a performer, spirit and woman. This one really hurts. Today's work is for you ma'am. Crazy love.

#ElaineStritch RIP. The lights on Broadway will never be able to shine as brightly without one of its greatest stars gracing its stages.

In the bar of the Sutton Place I watched #Elainestritch remove a Cuban cigar from Matt Dillon's mouth,stub it out in an ashtray and smile.
