American actress Gena Rowlands, star of The Notebook, has died at the age of 94 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
American actress Gena Rowlands, best known for her role in the movie The Notebook, has died at the age of 94.
His death occurred on August 14, but the cause was not disclosed. Rowlands is known to have been battling Alzheimer’s disease, which causes brain damage, for the past five years. His son, director Nick Cassavetes, announced the loss in a comment to TMZ.
Cassavetes first spoke about his mother’s illness in June 2024, noting that the actress’ fate tragically paralleled that of his heroine from The Notebook. In the film, Gina played the elderly Ellie, who also suffered from dementia. He decided to do the difficult filming of this movie because his son is the director.
Gena Rowlands left a huge mark on the film industry, working for more than 60 years. She was awarded four Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes, and was nominated for an Oscar for her roles in Gloria (1980) and A Woman Under the Influence (1974). He is also remembered for his roles in the films Paris, I Love You, The Key to All Doors and the TV series NCIS.
It was previously reported that South African actress Connie Chiume, who starred in the movie Black Panther, has died.
