Actress Sally Kirkland entered hospice care in Palm Springs while battling dementia.
Kirkland’s agent, Michael Green, confirmed the news to TMZ, adding that her friend and former student Cody Galloway stands by Kirkland’s side.
The 84-year-old Oscar nominee had had health problems in recent years.
The GoFundMe was established in November 2024 after Kirkland “fractured four bones in her neck, right wrist, and left hip” and “developed two separate life-threatening infections” while recovering.
Medical expenses were starting to pile up and were beyond what my insurance could cover.
Last month, organizers of the fundraiser posted a message.
“Hello: Sally sends love to everyone. It has been a difficult few months for Sally as her health continues to deteriorate,” it read. “She suffered cuts and bruises to her ribs and leg from a fall in the shower and being left unattended.”
“Sally is currently receiving 24/7 care in a specialized facility, providing excellent safety and care,” the message continued. “We are continuing to raise money to help make up the difference between our income and the cost of care. Thank you for all the love, support and care for Sally.”
A message from organizers Friday said the Hollywood legend was receiving hospice care.
The comment read: “Thank you for all your love and support. Sally appreciates your kindness and love. Sally is currently resting peacefully in a hospice. Please hug Sally and send her light.”
Kirkland was a member of Andy Warhol’s Factory Circle and appeared in off-Broadway avant-garde productions.
She received critical acclaim for her role as a former actress in the 1987 comedy-drama “Anna,” for which she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture and Best Drama, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
She also won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Leading Actress and the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.
Kirkland has appeared in more than 200 films, including “Charlie’s Angels,” “JFK,” and “Bruce Almighty.”
