Hollywood stars and public figures took to social media on Wednesday to pay tribute to Larry Kramer, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter, playwright, author and trailblazing gay rights and AIDS activist who died Wednesday of pneumonia.

He was 84. Kramer was best known for penning the play The Normal Heart, which debuted at The Public Theater in New York City in 1985.

He wrote the screenplays for Women in Love, for which he earned an Oscar nomination in 1969; 1973's Lost Horizon; and 2014's HBO film version of The Normal Heart, which was directed by Ryan Murphy and starred Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch, Jim Parsons and Julia Roberts.
