Jane Leeves recalls how David Hyde Pierce rallied the 'Frasier' cast after its co-creator died on 9/11

David Angell and his wife, Lynn, died aboard American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11, 2001. Leeves recalled that Pierce called the 'Frasier' cast and crew to the set and read a friend's letter about how the show had helped him laugh again. Leeves said hearing how Angell's writing had comforted someone in his absence helped them find a reason to resume filming.
