An acclaimed actress, known for roles in Broadway shows and hit television series, has died at the age of 84.
Tony Award winner Elizabeth Franz died Nov. 4 at her home in Connecticut. Her husband, screenwriter Christopher Pelham, confirmed the news to the New York Times.
Franz’s cause of death was revealed to be a severe reaction to medication she used as she battled cancer.
The Ohio native was best known for playing Linda Loman, the wife of protagonist Willy Loman (Brain Dennehy), in the 1999 revival of “Death of a Salesman.” Franz won the Tony Award for best performance by an actress in a featured role in a play for her role.
Franz appeared in a variety of Broadway and off-Broadway productions such as “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” “Lost in Yonkers” and “A View for the Bridge” over the span of her 50-plus year career.
The legendary actress went on to receive an Emmy nomination for her work in Showtime’s 2000 TV movie adaptation of “Death of a Salesman,” as well.
Some of Franz’s most notable television appearances came in series like “Gilmore Girls,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Judging Amy,” and “Law & Order.”
