Fatima Cortez Todd, the widow of TV and Film star Tony Todd, shares her disappointment in the exclusion of her late husband in the Emmy's 'In Memoriam' segment.
"Tony had a long list of TV credits but he was not respected as much by the industry he gave his artistic life," she said. "He was classically trained and always given great support by his fans. Ultimately, he gave his all because he loved his work. Many times he was told that he should have had a role he didn’t get. He still maintained his generosity of spirit," Fatima continued. "The award shows look over many who should be honored. That's on them."
Fans of Tony Todd's work can look forward to a memorial to be held on Nov. 8 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills. "His funeral was private and I respect the fans enough to have closure on his passing," she wrote.
May Tony Todd Rest In Peace.
