American Actress Gena Rowlands, who was nominated for an Oscar and was most renowned for her work on several films with her husband, director John Cassavetes, has passed away, aged 94.

Her son Nick Cassavetes, who made the announcement on Wednesday, August 14, said her mother had Alzheimer's in 2024.
