From TMZ.com….
Olympia Dukakis — the Oscar-winning actress best known for her role in ‘Moonstruck’ — has died … this according to her family.
Her brother, Apollo, broke the sad news Saturday … taking to Facebook to update fans that his sister had passed in New York City. He adds, “After many months of failing health she is finally at peace and with her Louis.” Her husband, Louis, died in 2018.
Dukakis is perhaps most remembered for her turn as Cher’s mother in the 1987 rom-com — in which she played a wise-cracking matriarch who dealt with her daughter’s relationship woes … and those of her own as well.
