Heartbreaking news.
Academy award nominated actress Diane Ladd has sadly passed away at the age of 89. Best known for her roles in 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore', 'Wild at Heart', and 'Rambling Rose'.
Daughter Laura Dern revealed the news in a statement:
"My amazing hero and profound gift of a mother, Diane Ladd, passed with me beside her this morning, at her home in Ojai, California."
"She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created. We were blessed to have her. She is flying with her angels now".
In a statement to US Weekly, Diane's ex-husband Bruce Dern also released a statement on her passing:
"Diane was a tremendous actress, and I feel like, a bit of a hidden treasure until she ran into David Lynch."
"When he cast her as Laura's mom in 'Wild at Heart' it felt like the world then really understood her brilliance."
"She lived a good life. She saw everything the way it was. She was a great teammate to her fellow actors. She was funny, clever, gracious. But most importantly to me, she was a wonderful mother to our incredible, wunderkind daughter. And for that I will be forever grateful to her."
