The passing of the former <em>Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em> veteran has thrown the movie currently in pre-production &#8216;in turmoil,&#8217; according to TMZ.<\/p>\n<p>Doris is the third elderly star to die before the film even gets off the ground, following Mickey Rooney who died in 2014 at age 93 and James Best who died last year at age 88. Now the film&#8217;s producer, Dave Rotan, says he is hesitant to re-cast Doris&#8217; part because he doesn&#8217;t want to &#8216;jinx anyone else,&#8217; as TMZ reports.<\/p>\n<p>Rotan admits his &#8216;window of opportunity is quickly closing&#8217; on replacing those roles left vacant.<br \/>\n&gt;However, he tells TMZ he isn&#8217;t giving up on the movie and still has Rance Howard, 87, Hugh O&#8217;Brian, 91, and Clifton James, 94, on board.<\/p>\n<h6>[Includes content from\u00a0https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Doris_Roberts]<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody Loves Raymond star Doris Roberts has passed away at 90.
