20 Actors We Lost In 2024

Legendary Oscar-nominated actress Gena Rowlands made waves with her all-timer performance in her husband John Cassavetes' 1974 drama A Woman Under the Influence, and decades later continues to be championed as one of the greatest actresses of all time.

Rowlands has four Emmys, two Golden Globes, and two Oscar nominations to her name, as well as an Honorary Academy Award recognising her statuesque acting career in 2015. Her most distinctive roles include Gloria, Opening Night, The Brink's Job, Another Woman, Night on Earth, Hysterical Blindness, and The Notebook, the latter of which was directed by her son Nick Cassavetes.

Decades from now, Gena Rowlands' body of work will ensure she remains in contention with the most celebrated actresses that cinema has ever seen.

Gena Rowlands died on August 14, 2024 at the age of 94.
