Actor Michael Clarke Duncan was layed to rest yesterday at Forest Lawn cemetery and family, friends and former costars came out to remember the big man with a big heart. Best known for his Oscar-nominated role in Stephen King’s The Green Mile  Duncan worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and they all describe the man as a 6 and half foot tall giant with a heart of gold. Hart Hanson, creator of Bones and The Finder, talked about all the fans that would approach Duncan seeking hugs rather than autographs. Jay Leno fought back tears as he had the following to say of Duncan: “In this cynical world of Hollywood, here was a guy who was happy for every job he got. Just to see such a pure heart and pure kindness…and to see him taken so early, there really are no sadder words than what might have been.”

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan and his fiancée Omarosa Manigault were planning on having a family together before he suffered a heart attack in July and passed away early Monday. “She’s absolutely devastated,” Manigault’s spokeswoman Priscilla Clarke said. “They were planning to get married and start a family.” The two met at a Whole Foods about two years ago and were set to wed next year. Duncan, famous for playing the mystical gentle giant in “The Green Mile” was found unresponsive by his fiance around 2 a.m on Monday July 13th. Manigault performed CPR on the hulking 6-foot-5, 325 pound actor until paramedics arrived and rushed him to the hospital. “The Oscar-nominated actor suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” Duncan’s publicist said in a statement Monday. “Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time.”
