He won at least one Emmy, was nominated for an Oscar if memory serves, and his career spanned something like 60 years. It’s like calling Harry Dean Stanton a cult actor.

Thanks for that. Here's something from her facebook page, November 9th, 2018. For all of you that know and love Gloria, she is in hospice care now and in her last days. Please send your prayers her way so we can all blast her with our love for her as she enters this journey beyond. If anyone feels moved to visit her soon, you can contact me, Dave Cesana, through my Facebook messenger or I’ll check on her Facebook periodically. Also, please let me know if you’d like to be included in her memorial service. There are many out there whose lives she touched that I’m not even aware of. She has been a gift and bright light to us and will be missed on this planet. Thank you. The memorial of life event was posted Nov 14th 2018, so she definitely died around mid Nov.
