Broadway dancer and actor Maurice Hines died on Friday of natural causes, his cousin told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 80. Hines starred in Broadway musicals Hot Feet and Uptown … It’s Hot—both productions he choreographed and directed by Hines—the latter of which earned him a Best Actor Tony Award nomination in 1986. He appeared in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club alongside his brother Will & Grace actor, Gregory Hines. The brothers were reported estranged for a decade before reconciling before Gregory's death in 2003. Maurice Hines had lived at the Actors Fund Home in New Jersey for a number of years before his passing. Debbie Allen was among the stars to pay tribute to Hines, saying she would always treasure the memories they made as co-stars in Guys and Dolls. "My tears are for my inability to speak with you or to hold you. I will ALWAYS SPEAK YOUR NAME," she wrote.
