NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The Broadway play "On Golden Pond" will close Sunday because star James Earl Jones is suffering from pneumonia.
Jones, 74, an accomplished stage actor and the voice of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" movies, has been off the Tony Award-nominated New York production since June 15 and is not expected to make a full recovery until August, according to a statement.
"When we take a hard look at the financial reality of running several more weeks without him, closing is our most responsible decision," producer Jeffrey Finn said. (Rest)
On Golden Pond is one of the most memorable movies from being a kid, and the sultry yet commanding voice of James Earl Jones has been with me almost my entire life. I hope all goes well and James does recover fully. Pneumonia is nothing to mess around with.
