Golden Globe-winning actress Sally Kirkland has died, just days after entering hospice care in Palm Springs, according to TMZ.
Her representative, Michael Greene, told the outlet the 82-year-old passed away at 1:50 a.m. PST (4:50 a.m. Eastern Time) on Tuesday, and “will be deeply missed.” The news comes after she was hospitalized and placed in hospice over the weekend.
Kirkland, who had been battling dementia for the past year, had recently suffered a serious fall in the shower that left her with broken ribs and a foot injury, according to a GoFundMe page launched by friends and former students to assist with her care.
The page also said she had been struggling with “life-threatening infections” and was “resting comfortably” after being moved into hospice.
