The TV and film star passed away days after entering a Palm Springs hospice following a period of ill health in recent years and a number of falls, Deadline has confirmed. Her representative, Michael Greene, told TMZ she had died this morning at 1.50am Pt.
Reports say Kirkland had dementia for the past year. A GoFundMe page set up to support her health battle noted that she had struggled to pay for medical care since SAG-AFTRA cancelled supplement insurance for members over the age of 65 in 2021.

Kirkland, who was once part of Andy Warhole’s art studio The Factory and a player in avante-garde theater, is remembered best for her role in 1987 indie comedy-drama movie Anna.
