Oscar-nominated actress Diane Ladd dies at 89

A Hollywood icon and one of its true originals has passed away. Three-time Academy Award nominee Diane Ladd has died at her California home. 

She was 89.

Her daughter, actress Laura Dern, confirmed her passing, calling her “my guiding light and my heart.”

Over more than six decades in film and television, Ladd was recognized for bringing depth, humor and heart to every role — from “Chinatown” and “Wild at Heart” to “Rambling Rose” and “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” — the latter three earning her Oscar nominations.

She also made Hollywood history as part of the first mother-daughter duo to be nominated for an Academy Award in the same year.

Diane Ladd will be remembered as a performer of strength, soul and grace.
