R.I.P. George Shapiro
29 May 2022 By Eva Ara�jo (Web correspondent)
You may not know who George Shapiro is, but most people in the entertainment industry work behind the scenes and not in front of a camera. Ms. Shapiro was a talented manager who represented many known people. One of those people was comedian Andy Kaufman.
In the biographic movie "Man On The Moon", the role of George Shapiro was played by Danny deVito. Jim Carrey knew George Shapiro and after knowing about his passing, he took to Twitter to pay his tribute, sharing a few words and a photo.
Jim Carrey: George Shapiro - Truly one of the loveliest of humans. A champion to so many of the brightest lights - a genuine classic. I loved him. Andy Kaufman loved him. Tony Clifton was not a fan!
Check out Jim's tweet:
