Diane Ladd, the prolific actor who earned Academy Award nominations for her spirited performances in Martin Scorsese's "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" and Martha Coolidge's "Rambling Rose," died Monday.

She was 89.

"My amazing hero and my profound gift of a mother passed with me beside her this morning at her home in Ojai, California,” Ladd's daughter, Oscar-winning actor Laura Dern , said in a statement.

"She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created," Dern added. "We were blessed to have her. She is flying with her angels now."
