Three-time Academy Award nominated actress Diane Ladd, best known for her roles in Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and in David Lynch’s Wild At Heart, has died at 89.
Ladd’s death was announced by her daughter, Oscar-winning actress Laura Dern, who issued a statement saying her mother and occasional co-star had died at her home in Ojai, California, with Dern at her side. Dern, who called Ladd her “amazing hero” and “profound gift of a mother”, did not immediately cite a cause of death.
