Her death was confirmed by her representative, <strong>Michael Greene<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirkland passed away while in hospice care in <strong>Palm Springs, California<\/strong>, following an extended period of ill health that included multiple fractures, infections, and dementia. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2025\/11\/11\/sally-kirkland-dead\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">tmz.com<\/a>) She had recently been admitted to hospice care after a fall and significant decline in her condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in <strong>New York City<\/strong> in 1941, Kirkland began her career as a model and studied acting at the <strong>American Academy of Dramatic Arts<\/strong> and the <strong>Actors Studio<\/strong>. She emerged in the 1960s art-scene around <strong>Andy Warhol\u2019s Factory<\/strong>, and appeared in underground films and off-Broadway productions before gaining mainstream attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her breakthrough came in the film <em>Anna<\/em>, for which she won the <strong>Golden Globe<\/strong> for Best Actress in a Motion Picture \u2013 Drama and received an <strong>Academy Award nomination<\/strong>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/sally-kirkland-actress-dies-at-84-8749851?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">people.com<\/a>) Over her six-decade career, she amassed more than 250 film and television credits, including roles in <em>JFK<\/em>, <em>Bruce Almighty<\/em>, and guest appearances on series such as <em>Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/em> and <em>Roseanne<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her acclaim, Kirkland\u2019s later years were marked by health and financial hardship. A <strong>GoFundMe<\/strong> campaign launched by friends sought to cover her medical expenses after serious injuries and infections compounded by declining insurance coverage. Her resilience, however, remained a hallmark of her legacy, both on-screen and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirkland was also a mentor and teacher of acting, and continued to express her spiritual interests, including yoga and ordained ministry. Her life and career embodied an intersection of physical performance, artistry, and personal evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tributes from peers and admirers highlight a fearless performer who embraced unconventional roles and challenged limits of the craft. \u201cShe was never just playing a part \u2014 she was living it,\u201d one tribute said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is survived by her legacy of bold performances and a community of artists she influenced. Private services will be held, and the family has asked for donations to medical-care charities in lieu of flowers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A powerful Arctic cold front brings record-low temperatures and heavy snow to regions from the Midwest to Florida.
