Sally Kirkland, the actress known for her role in "Anna," has faced many personal challenges throughout her life. At 84, she is battling dementia and has been placed in hospice care in Palm Springs, California.
After nearly ten years, Sally found love again with Mark Hebert, whom she married in 1985. This marriage also ended in divorce, though details about their separation remain private. Close friends reveal that Sally sought emotional depth and stability in her relationships, which was hard to maintain under public scrutiny.
Despite two marriages, Sally never had biological children and lacked a life partner or children for support during difficult times.
Sally had a strong bond with her late daughter, Jan Kirkland, and granddaughter, Hannah Bonta. Tragically, both were murdered in Florida in 2019. Jan was the daughter of Rob Kirkland from an earlier relationship.
According to Local 10 News, "Jason Dale Roseman was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing his brother during a domestic dispute."
They died weeks after the death of Robert, who passed away from kidney failure.
Sally's struggle with dementia has been ongoing for about a year, as confirmed by her representative, Michael Greene. Throughout this difficult time, her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, has remained by her side.
Sally Kirkland faced profound personal losses, including the tragic deaths of close family members, and now battles dementia with support from devoted friends during her hospice care.
