Coleman began his career playing humorous villains, mean-spirited bosses, and antagonists in films like 9 to 5 and Tootsie, as well as Commodore Louis Kaestner in Boardwalk Empire.
Lily Tomlin, who co-starred with him in 9 To 5 with Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton, stated, “We just loved him.”
In her X post, the actress uploaded a snapshot of her character Violet Newstead dressed in a Snow White outfit, with a tense Coleman as her arrogant boss Franklin Hart Jr.
Morgan Fairchild, who starred in Falcon Crest and Friends, praised Coleman as a “great one”.
“So sorry to hear of the death of the wonderful #DabneyColeman,” she wrote on X, beside a black and white photo of them together.
