Sir Patrick Stewart passed away at eighty-six on Wednesday at his Los Angeles home with his wife Sunny Ozell by his side. His representative shared that he died following a battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia. Tributes immediately flooded in from co-stars like Ian McKellen, who recalled their fifty years of friendship starting with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
