Sally Kirkland, the Oscar-nominated actress who has appeared in multiple hit TV shows and movies, reportedly has entered hospice.
Michael Greene, a spokesman for the 84-year-old Kirkland, tells TMZ that Kirkland is in hospice in Palm Springs, California. A GoFundMe page says Kirkland’s health has suffered after SAG-AFTRA canceled supplemental insurance in 2021 for members over the age of 65.
“As a result today, she finds herself facing a significant health crisis — one that has not only affected her well-being but also requires urgent and quality medical care that she can no longer afford,” the GoFundMe page says.
The longtime actress broke four bones in her neck, right wrist, and her left hip in the past year, the GoFundMe page says. She developed two separate life-threatening infections while recovering.
“The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover,” the post says. “As the days pass, lack of proper care greatly diminishes Sally’s chance of a full recovery.”
Kirkland’s career spans six decades and includes appearances in over 300 projects, such as “The Sting,” “Private Benjamin,” “EDtv,” “Bruce Almighty,” “The Haunted,” “Best of The Best,” “Revenge,” “Coffee Date,” “Roseanne,” “JFK,” “A Brave New World,” “80 for Brady,” “Anna,” and the 2024 indie hit film “Sallywood.”
Kirkland was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for her role in “Anna,” a comedy-drama released in 1987, the GoFundMe page says.
