Hollywood is in mourning.
Sally Kirkland, an Oscar nominee best known for her role in the 1987 film Anna, died on Nov. 11, her rep Michael Greene confirmed to TMZ. She was 84.
The actress had recently entered hospice care in Palm Springs, Calif. after battling dementia for the past year, Greene previously told TMZ on Nov. 9 ahead of her passing.
A GoFundMe set up to help cover Kirkland’s medical costs noted she had also been treated for bone fractures in her neck, right wrist and left hip, as well as two separate life-threatening infections.
“Sally has been more than just a friend,” read a message posted on the page, “she has been a maternal figure, offering encouragement, wisdom, and love when it was needed most. For those who know Sally personally, she has been a limitless source of generosity, kindness, and unwavering spirit.”
“And while she has meant so much to so many around her, she has never had the luxury of a life partner or children to lean on in difficult times,” the post continued. “She has always prioritized being there for others, given everything she has to her craft, her church, her friends, and her community.”
