I am heartbroken to inform you that my friend Kim Goodwin passed away on Sunday afternoon. Kim started out as our hair and makeup guru and eventually became like family to us. I was able to spend some time with Kim last Wednesday. Even though he was quite ill and bedridden, we laughed and joked about all of the great memories we’ve shared over the years. Kim was unbelievably talented. Not only did he do our hair and makeup, he prepared all of our publicity shots —even the building wraps on the Flamingo. He was loved and adored by everyone he worked with. Our entire cast and crew will miss him dearly. Godspeed, my dear friend Kim. #RIP #UntilWeMeetAgain

Over the weekend, she shared a poignant tribute on Instagram. "I waited until now to post this, but today I said goodbye to my best friend Kimmy," Marie wrote. "He’s now in a better place, and though my heart is shattered and this hole in my heart may never be filled, I’m grateful that he left this life knowing how much he was loved."
