Mary Beth Hurt, the actress known for roles in The Age of Innocence and Six Degrees of Separation (both 1993), has died. She was 79.
The 3x Tony-nominated actress’ daughter Molly Schrader, whom she shared with husband Paul Schrader, announced that Hurt died on Saturday after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2015.
“Yesterday morning we lost my mom, Mary Beth, to Alzheimer’s after a decade long battle with the disease,” wrote Molly on Instagram. “She was an actress, a wife, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a friend, and she took on all those rolls with grace and a kind ferocity. Although we’re grieving there is some comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering and is reunited with her sisters in peace.”
