Sally Kirkland Dies at 84

Sally Kirkland, the actress, one-time denizen of Andy Warhol’s Factory, and Oscar nominee, died Tuesday, Nov. 11, Variety reports. She was 84.

A representative for Kirkland confirmed that the actress died in Palm Springs, California after entering hospice last week following a fall in the shower that caused injuries to her ribs and foot. An exact cause of death wasn’t given, though Kirkland had reportedly been battling several ailments, including infections and dementia.

A GoFundMe page established earlier this year to help cover her medical expenses detailed that Kirkland had also fractured bones in her neck, right wrist, and left hip. While recovering, she “developed two separate life-threatening infections,” requiring extensive hospitalizations and rehab. (The GoFundMe explained that Kirkland lost her SAG-AFTRA supplemental health insurance in 2021, and much of the money she earned and invested during her career was lost in the 2008 financial crisis.)
