Gena Rowlands, the award-winning actor who transitioned from her beginnings in theater to star in her debut film role, “The High Cost of Loving,” in 1958, died Wednesday at her home in Indian Wells, California, at the age of 94.
The news of Rowlands' death was confirmed by the office of her son Nick Cassavetes' agent and while a cause of death was not immediately shared, word spread in June that her health had taken a turn following an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
