Sally Kirkland, the star of "Anna," has faced many personal hardships throughout her life. At 84 years old, she is currently battling dementia and is under hospice care in Palm Springs, California.
After nearly ten years, Sally found love again with Mark Hebert, whom she married in 1985. Their marriage eventually ended in divorce, though details about their separation remain private. Close friends note that Sally sought emotional depth and stability in her relationships, but maintaining these amidst public scrutiny was challenging.
Sally Kirkland never had any biological children from her two marriages. According to those close to her, she did not have "the luxury of a life partner or children to lean on in difficult times." However, she shared a strong bond with her late stepdaughter, Jan Kirkland, and granddaughter, Hannah Bonta.
Jan Kirkland and Hannah Bonta were tragically murdered in 2019 in Florida.
Local 10 News reported that Jason Dale Roseman was sentenced to life in prison for the stabbing of his brother during a domestic dispute. Sally's loved ones, Jan and Hannah, passed away just weeks after Robert's death from kidney failure.
Sally’s representative, Michael Greene, told TMZ that she has been struggling with dementia for about a year. Her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, remains by her side during this difficult time.
Sally Kirkland’s life has been marked by love, loss, and resilience, surrounded by close relationships despite personal and family tragedies.
