Veteran actress Sally Kirkland, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in the 1987 film "Anna," has been hospitalized and placed under hospice care, according to TMZ. The 84-year-old performer was diagnosed with dementia a year ago and is now suffering from life-threatening infections.

"She had a fall in the shower, when she was left unattended; injuring her ribs, foot, along with cuts and bruises,"

states a message from an urgent GoFundMe campaign launched to support her medical needs and care expenses.

Kirkland’s career has spanned more than six decades. Beyond her acclaimed performance in "Anna," for which she earned an Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe, she was a key figure in Andy Warhol’s Factory movement and appeared in numerous notable films across decades.
