James Earl Jones, the revered actor who voiced Star Wars villain Darth Vader, starred in Field of Dreams and many other films and Broadway shows and is an EGOT winner, died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY. He was 93.
Considered one of the greatest stage and screen actors globally, Jones is one of the rare entertainers to achieve EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), although his Oscar was honorary. He has earned two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Daytime Emmy, a spoken-word Grammy in 1977, and three Tony Awards.
