A representative for the Hollywood star confirmed the sad news to Fox News Digital and told the publication: "Mary was one of the finest actresses I ever met.
"She had a terrific sense of humour and a unique outlook on life. I still remember the first time that I saw her onstage in Mad Forest in 92. She was utterly captivating, well loved, and will be missed."
The Syracuse-native graduated from Corcoran High School before attending San Francisco State University and Yale. She went on to have a successful acting career.
Throughout her career, which spanned over three decades, Mary featured in over 20 movies and 40 television shows, such as West Wing, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, NYPD Blue and Lost.
