Actress Sally Kirkland enters hospice after dementia diagnosis

Actress Sally Kirkland is in hospice as she continues to battle dementia.

Kirkland’s rep, Michael Greene, told TMZ on Sunday that the 84-year-old Hollywood icon entered hospice care at a hospital in Palm Springs, Calif.

Her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, is by her side, Greene confirmed.

The Post has reached out to Kirkland’s rep for comment.

A new update on a GoFundMe page for Kirkland confirmed that she’s in hospice.

“Thank you for all your love and support. Sally is grateful for your kindness and love,” the message from Friday read, adding, “Sally is on hospice now and is resting comfortably. Please hold and send the light for Sally.”

The GoFundMe was created in Nov. 2024 to help the Oscar nominee deal with her “significant health crisis.”

“This past year Sally fractured her four bones in her neck, right wrist, and her left hip,” a message on the page reads. “While recovering she developed two separate life-threatening infections.”

“The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover,” the message adds.

Last month, organizers of the fundraiser posted an update on Kirkland’s health.

“Sally sends her love to everyone. It has been a challening few months for Sally as her health continues to struggle,” the organizers said. “She had a fall in the shower, when she was left unattended; injuring her ribs, foot, along with cuts and bruises.”

The Oct. 2 message stated that the “80 for Brady” actress is “receiving 24/7 care in a specialized facility, that is providing wonderful safety and care.”

“We are continuing to try raise money to cover the gaps between income and care costs,” the organizers continued. “Thank you for all the love, support, and care for Sally.”

As of Monday morning, the GoFundMe page has raised over $58,900, with the goal being $65,000.

Kirkland, a former member of Andy Warhol’s Factory circle, has appeared in over 250 film and television projects in her 60-year career.

She’s best known for starring in the 1987 comedy drama “Anna,” which earned her an Academy Award nomination and won her a Golden Globe and an Independent Spirit Award.

Kirkland’s other notable films include “Bruce Almighty,” “Cold Feet,” “Best of the Best” and “JFK.”

On the small screen, she’s appeared in episodes of “Charlie’s Angels,” “Roseanne,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “The Nanny,” “Felicity” and “Days of Our Lives.”
