He was a great entertainer.
He was a great artist.
And he was a remarkable man.
I had the honor of working with him, and it was an experience Ill always treasure.
He was, truly, one of our greats, Scorsese said in a statement.
AddedDe Niro in a statement, Jerry was a pioneer in comedy and film.
And he was a friend.
I was fortunate to have seen him a few times over the past couple of years.
Even at 91, he didnt miss a beat… or a punchline.
Look, Im a perfectionist.
Im not always easy to work with.
