“My amazing hero and my profound gift of a mother, Diane Ladd, passed with me beside her this morning, at her home in Ojai, Ca,” Laura‘s statement began.

“She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created. 

“We were blessed to have her.

“She is flying with her angels now,” Laura concluded.

The Oscar-nominated actress was 89 years old and appeared to have no plans of slowing down anytime soon, as her last social media post shared her latest project.

In September, the actress posted a promotional photo on Instagram for her new film, The Last Full Measure, which was recently released on various streaming platforms.

Diane also shared a screengrab of one of her scenes in the movie, opposite Christopher Plummer.

She gushed about the production, which was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and her co-stars, including Peter Fonda, William Hurt, Ed Harris, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sebastian Stan.

Diane also teased a potential career pivot into podcasting, sparking a slew of comments from fans excited for what’s to come for the movie star.

Her death came two months after her husband, Robert Charles Hunter, suddenly passed.

Robert, the former PepsiCo CEO, was 77 when he died in August while visiting his family in Fort Worth, Texas.

He was Diane’s third husband, following her marriage to Laura’s father, Bruce Dern, from 1960 to 1969, and businessman William Shea Jr. from 1973 to 1976.

Diane and Robert’s love story began when they met in Sedona, Arizona, and got married in 1999.

They launched a production company together, though Diane is most known for her showstopping performances in front of the camera.
