Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Bob Newhart, Julia Duffy and Lena Dunham are among the celebrities paying tribute to Emmy-winning actor Peter Scolari, who died Friday of cancer at the age of 66.

"I knew that Peter was sick, but his death comes as a great shock. We were friends for over 40 years. Julia and Peter were an essential part of the success of 'Newhart.' He was a fantastic person & a joy to work with. He will be sorely missed, his passing at 66 is way too early," Newhart tweeted.
