"Glee actress Jane Lynch paid tribute to the late Cory Monteith at the 2013 Emmy Awards. The 53-year-old, who portrays Sue Sylvester, called her co-star a &amp;quot;beautiful soul&amp;quot; in a heartfelt memoriam segment during the ceremony.  &amp;quot;This summer on our show Glee we suffered a painful death in our family,&amp;quot; Lynch said. &amp;quot;From the first time you saw Cory, he had a star quality and genuine sweetness that made it impossible not to fall in love with him. And millions did fall in love with Cory...and I&amp;#039;m here to say that all that warmth and that charm and that open-hearted quality that we loved in Cory was no act.&amp;quot; Lynch also praised Monteith - who passed away in July - for being a &amp;quot;gifted and wonderful young man&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Cory was a beautiful soul. He was not perfect, which many of us here tonight can relate to. His death is a tragic reminder of the rapacious, senseless destruction that is brought on by addiction,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;Tonight we remember Cory for all he was and mourn the loss of all he could have been. To a generation that loved Cory so, please know this gifted and wonderful young man was worthy of your love.  &amp;quot;And if you were lucky enough to know Cory as we did, and witness firsthand Cory&amp;#039;s goofy, breezy sense of humor, his natural instinct for inclusiveness and his unbridled sense of generosity day in and day out, I promise you&amp;#039;d have loved him even more.&amp;quot; The planned tribute to Monteith was recently criticised by Jack Klugman&amp;#039;s son, who blasted the lack of honour to his father. The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards aired on CBS in the US. Viewers in the UK can see highlights from the awards show on Monday (September 23) at 10pm on 5USA.
