LOS ANGELES — Sally Kirkland, a prolific Golden Globe-winning star of stage and screen who was also nominated for an Academy Award, has died.
The actor died early Tuesday morning in Palm Springs, her manager confirmed to Variety, after being placed in hospice last week with a diagnosis of dementia. She was 84.
"Thank you for all your love and support. Sally is grateful for your kindness and love. Sally is on hospice now and is resting comfortably. Please hold and send the light for Sally," said a GoFundMe page set up before Kirkland's death to help with her medical care.
Kirkland's honors came from the 1987 film "Anna," in which she co-starred with Paulina Porizkova. The movie was one of hundreds of credits for the actor that included 1991's "JFK," 2003's "Bruce Almighty," "80 for Brady" in 2023 and the television series "Charlie's Angels."
