Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus shared her grief over the loss of her "Enough Said" co-star during the premiere, as did Toni Collette, Catherine Keener, director Nicole Holofcener and "Sopranos" actor Tony Siricio.

"I really wish he would have seen the finished film, because hopefully he would have seen how lovely he is in it," said the director, according to the Huffington Post.
