"Actor Chadwick Boseman, who played Black icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown with searing intensity before finding fame as the regal Black Panther in the #Marvel cinematic universe, died Friday of cancer, his representative said. He was 43. Boseman died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press. Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, his family said in a statement his family said. “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more - all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. "Boseman had not spoken publicly about his diagnosis. He is survived by his wife and a parent and had no children, Fioravante said.

Boseman died on a day that Major League Baseball was celebrating Jackie Robinson day. “His transcendent performance in `42' will stand the test of time and serve as a powerful vehicle to tell Jackie’s story to audiences for generations to come,” the league wrote in a tweet..." . . https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/national/story/2020-08-28/black-panther-star-chadwick-boseman-dies-of-cancer-at-43 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdcHa_nJlN/?igshid=19rxwqd4gr5yd
