According to the GoFundMe, Kirkland “had a fall in the shower, when she was left unattended; injuring her ribs, foot, along with cuts and bruises.”
Kirkland has been acting for more than 60 years. Along with her Oscar nomination for “Anna” — for which she won a Golden Globe — she was part of Andy Warhol’s Factory scene and acted in the films “The Way We Were” (1973), “Cinderella Liberty” (1973), “The Sting” (1973), Barbra Streisand’s “A Star Is Born” (1976), “Private Benjamin” (1980), “JFK” (1991), “The Player” (1992), “Bruce Almighty” (2003), “Adam & Steve” (2005), and “80 for Brady” (2023).
On Monday, a new doc about her life, “Sallywood,” bows on Amazon Prime.
