Sally Kirkland, currently 84 years old and battling dementia, has had a complex personal life marked by love, loss, and tragedy.
After nearly a decade single, Sally found love again with Mark Hebert, whom she married in 1985. Their marriage, however, ended in divorce. While details about the separation remain private, Sally's close friends say she sought emotional depth and stability in her relationships, which was challenging under public scrutiny.
Sally never had biological children despite two marriages. According to those close to her, she never had the "luxury of a life partner or children to lean on in difficult times." However, she maintained a strong bond with her late daughter, Jan Kirkland, and granddaughter, Hannah Bonta.
Jan Kirkland and Hannah Bonta were tragically murdered in 2019 in Florida.
Jason Dale Roseman was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing his brother during a domestic dispute. Jan and Hannah passed away weeks after Robert's death from kidney failure.
Sally Kirkland is currently in hospice care in Palm Springs, California, as her dementia progresses. Her representative Michael Greene confirmed her condition has worsened over the past year. Sally's close friend and former student Cody Galloway remains by her side during this difficult time.
"She has been struggling with dementia for a year now," said Michael Greene.
Sally Kirkland's life reflects profound personal challenges with love, loss, and health, underscored by her ongoing fight against dementia and the devastating loss of her family members.
