Cory Monteith's sudden death of a drug and alcohol overdose shocked and saddened television fans around the world. In memory of his passing, Emmys organizers have planned a special tribute for the late "Glee" star alongside Hollywood icons like James Gandolfini and Jean Stapleton. As part of the tribute, Monteith's "Glee" co-star Jane Lynch will remember the Canadian actor this Sunday.
But in an opinion piece for Variety, editor-in-chief Andrew Wallenstein wonders whether Monteith deserves an honor more than other late Hollywood notables, like Dallas' Larry Hagman, who spent more years behind the camera than the young star.
