Sally Kirkland in hospice for severe health
Hollywood star Sally Kirkland is in a hospice after battling devastating health issues this past year.
TMZ was informed by Kirkland’s representative that the 84-year is in a hospice at a Palm Springs hospital after becoming afflicted with dementia.
A GoFundMe has been set up, which reveals the Bruce Almighty star has faced life-threatening infections after fracturing multiple bones and is now “resting comfortably” at the hospice.
“This past year, Sally fractured four bones in her neck, right wrist, and left hip,” the page, which is seeking to raise money for Kirkland’s medical expenses, mentioned.
“While recovering, she developed two separate life-threatening infections,” it was added.
“The combination of these injuries and infections has required extensive hospitalisation and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover,” it concluded.
The legendary actor is best known for her films The Sting and Anna, the latter of which earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win.
Kirkland’s extensive acting career dates back to the 1960s as she appeared in a slew of classic TV shows, including Hawaii Five-0, Three’s Company, and Charlie’s Angels.
Other notable big screen roles that she played include the part of Anita Mann in Bruce Almighty, and a starring role in the Kevin Costner-led film JFK.
A Broadway actress who played the role of Young Nala in “The Lion King” a decade ago has been murdered, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
Imani Smith, 26, was discovered with multiple stab wounds inside her Edison, New Jersey home on Dec. 21.
She was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Smith was one of two actresses playing the role of Young Nala on Broadway between 2011 and 2012. Those who worked with her said she had a great voice and brought tremendous energy to the character.
Online tributes to Smith have been appearing, including one on Playbill.com.
Jordan Jackson-Small, 35, of Edison, is facing several charges, including first degree murder and unlawful possession of a weapon. Edison Police said the two knew each other and “it was not a random act of violence.” His initial court appearance was postponed, Smith’s family members said.
Smith’s parents tell CBS News New York Jackson-Small is the father of their daughter’s 3-year-old child.
“Nobody deserves to lose their life in that way, no matter who you are. Especially someone who is so young, has so much promise and has a beautiful little boy. She called, she calls him ‘Bub.’ Amazing parents. And she is unfortunately the second Young Nala we’ve lost, both under very different circumstances,” Jessica Arnold, a child guardian at “The Lion King,” said.
Smith’s mother also worked on “The Lion King” in the hair and wig department, as well as on other Broadway and television shows.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has enacted a sweeping new regulation requiring nearly all noncitizens to submit facial recognition scans when entering and exiting the United States.
The new rule is implemented from December 26, 2025.
Titled as “Collection of Biometric Data from Aliens Upon Entry to and Exit from the United States” the law states, “DHS may require certain aliens to provide biometrics when entering and departing the United States, they only authorise DHS to collect biometrics from certain aliens upon departure under pilot programs at land ports and at up to 15 airports and seaports.”
“DHS is amending the regulations to remove the references to pilot programs and the port limitation. In addition, to enable CBP to make the process for verifying the identity of aliens more efficient, accurate, and secure by using facial recognition technology, DHS is amending the regulations to provide that all aliens may be required to be photographed upon entry and/or departure,” it added.
The list of the affected countries is:
- Afghanistan
- Burma (Myanmar)
