American actress Diane Ladd, a triple Academy Award nominee for her supporting roles in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” “Wild at Heart”, and “Rambling Rose,” has died at the age of 89, her daughter said on Monday.

Ladd died at her home in California, said Laura Dern, Ladd’s daughter with ex-husband Bruce Dern. Both Bruce and Laura are also actors.

Ladd was known for playing strong, intelligent and complex women in roles including a sassy waitress, a domineering, mentally ill mother and an eccentric 1930s housewife during a seven-decade career that began on stage in the 1950s.

The tall blonde starred in films such as “White Lightning” (1973), David Lynch’s 1990 crime drama “Wild at Heart” (1990), the black comedy “Citizen Ruth” (1996), “Daddy and Them” (2001) and HBO’s “Enlightened” (2011), with her daughter. The two often played mother and daughter.

Ladd and Dern were both nominated for an Academy Award for the 1991 drama “Rambling Rose.” They were the first and only mother-daughter duo to receive Oscar nominations for the same film in the same year.

“She is just the greatest actress, ever. You don’t even use the word brave because she just shows up like that in life. She doesn’t care what anybody thinks,” Dern said of her mother. “She leads with a boundarylessness,” she added in a 2019 interview with “Inside the Actors Studio.”

The mother-daughter duo’s talents extended beyond acting.

In 2023, they published a joint memoir, “Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love.” The book was based on their conversations during daily walks together after Ladd was diagnosed with a lung disease and given only months to live. Her doctor recommended the walks to strengthen her lungs.

“The more we talked and the deeper and more complicated of subjects we shared, my mother got better and better and better,” Dern said in an interview with National Public Radio in 2023. “It’s been a great gift.”
