Actor Gena Rowlands, who is known for her work in A Woman Under the Influence (1974), and starred in The Notebook (2004), passed away at her home in Indian Wells, California. She was 94. Her death was confirmed by the office of her son’s agent.

In June, Nick Cassavetes, who directed his mother in The Notebook, shared that the three-time Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Rowlands’ role as Mabel Longhetti in A Woman Under the Influence, written for her and directed by husband John Cassavetes, landed her the first of her two Academy Award nominations.
