We’re sending love and positive vibes to legendary actress Sally Kirkland today. The 84-year-old Golden Globe winner has entered hospice care in Palm Springs while battling dementia, according to recent reports. Sally, who took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her unforgettable performance in the 1987 film ‘Anna,’ has been facing some serious health challenges including life-threatening infections and a recent fall in the shower.
For those who might not be familiar with her incredible career, Sally Kirkland has been a force in Hollywood for decades. Beyond her award-winning role in ‘Anna,’ she’s appeared in major films like Oliver Stone’s ‘JFK’ and the hilarious Jim Carrey comedy ‘Bruce Almighty.’ Her career spans over 200 film and television roles, making her one of Hollywood’s most prolific and respected character actresses. You can check out her impressive filmography on her [official IMDb page](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0456631/).
In true Hollywood community spirit, Sally’s friends have rallied around her during this difficult time. They’ve started a [GoFundMe campaign](https://www.gofundme.com/) to help cover her mounting medical expenses and ensure she receives the best possible care. It’s heartwarming to see the entertainment industry come together to support one of their own when it matters most.
Even as she faces these health challenges, Sally’s legacy continues to shine bright with the upcoming release of ‘Sallywood,’ a documentary about her remarkable life and career.
Here’s some bittersweet news for film lovers – a new documentary called ‘Sallywood’ drops tomorrow on Amazon Prime, offering an intimate look at her extraordinary journey through Hollywood. The timing feels particularly poignant, giving fans and newcomers alike the chance to celebrate her contributions to cinema while sending healing energy her way.

While Sally’s story unfolds far from Memphis, it reminds us how deeply movies connect us all. Many of us grew up watching her powerful performances, and her work in films like ‘JFK’ and ‘Bruce Almighty’ became part of our collective pop culture experience. It’s these artists who create the soundtracks and stories that shape our lives, much like the music we play here on Q107.5.
