CELEBRATING JOHN SINGLETON

While many celebrate the career of so many actors and actresses, the world has also lost great men and women in the movie industry, including the "Boyz N the Hood" writer and director, John Singleton.

Singleton passed away on April 28, 2019, and many celebrities penned down tributes to the icon. A few days after his death, Ferrell took to her Instagram page to express her emotions.
