Tragic reports have confirmed the death of Bruce Almighty actress Sally Kirkland, who passed away at the age of 84.
The Golden Globe winner died after a battle with dementia just days after it was reported that she had entered hospice in Palm Springs.
Her representative, Michael Greene, mentioned that she was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning. A GoFundMe has been set up for the star in the past when she was facing two separate life-threatening infections after fracturing several bones this past year.
Her publicist, Dominic Friesen, mentioned in a statement that she had been getting medical care at a private medical facility, where family and friends joined her on Halloween for a birthday celebration.
A GoFundMe set up to raise money for Kirland’s medical expenses had mentioned: ‘This past year, Sally fractured four bones in her neck, right wrist, and her left hip.’ And while she was recovering from that, she had also developed life-threatening infections.
The legendary star is best known for her movies such as The Sting and Anna, the latter of which earned her a popular Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win. Now, her fans and the industry are mourning the loss of a great talent and acting legend.
