James Earl Jones has passed away at 93-years-old. James was considered by many to be one of the world's greatest actors and is one of the few entertainers (21, to be exact) who has achieved EGOT status, after winning an Emmy, a GRAMMY, an Oscar, and a Tony. He was famous for his work in a variety of roles, from starring in "Field of Dreams" to voicing the "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader. He was also the voice of Mufasa in "The Lion King" and he was King Jaffe Joffer in "Coming to America," alongside Madge Sinclair who played his queen in both those movies. In all, James had almost 200 screen credits during his 60-years-long career.
The Empire State Building lit up in red and black with an image of Darth Vader and his lightsaber as a tribute to James, sharing, "Rest in Peace Lord Vader." Mark Hamill wrote, "RIP, Dad" with a broken heart emoji, while Kevin Costner, who co-starred with James in "Field of Dreams," posted on Instagram, "That booming voice. That quiet strength. The kindness that he radiated. So much can be said about his legacy, so I'll just say how thankful I am that part of it includes Field of Dreams."

Back in May, her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, admitted that he thinks about having kids with Selena "every day."
