The loss of a parent is one of the hardest experiences to endure, especially for those who have to bury their parents at a young age.
“127 Hours” star James Franco has joined this lonely group. The 33-year-old actor recently lost his father, Doug, whose cause of death has yet to be revealed.
“It is true that my sweet, generous husband passed away. He gave so much to his three sons and me, and to many other people, too,” Franco’s mom, Betsy, tweeted Monday of her late 63-year-old spouse.
Unfortunately, Franco is not the first celeb to have lost a parent as a young’un. Many others have suffered the same loss but gained resilience as a result. Here are some of the famous folks who have overcome this tragedy and climbed to new heights.
