Stars turn out for Philip Seymour Hoffman's wake
Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams were among the stars who turned out to remember Philip Seymour Hoffman at a wake in New York City on Thursday evening (06Feb14).
The actor was found dead at his home in the Big Apple on Sunday (02Feb14) following a suspected drug overdose, and his famous friends gathered to honor him on the night before his funeral.
Blanchett, who appeared with the actor in 1999 film The Talented
Mr. Ripley, attended the gathering at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral
Home in Manhattan along with Hoffman's The Master co-stars Phoenix
and Adams.
Williams, who worked with the star on 2008's Synecdoche, New York,
was also in attendance, along with actor Josh Hamilton and
Hoffman's former partner Mimi O'Donnell and three young children,
Cooper, Willa and Tallulah.
A private funeral service for Hoffman will take place in New York
City on Friday (07Feb14), and a memorial service will be held later
this month (Feb14). The actor's family has asked for charity
donations in lieu of flowers for The DreamYard Project and the
Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
