Sally Kirkland, known for her role in "Anna," is currently battling dementia and is under hospice care at the age of 84. Here is an overview of her marriage, family life, and personal tragedies.
After years of personal struggles, Sally found love again with Mark Hebert, whom she married in 1985. Their marriage ultimately ended in divorce, with few public details available about the separation. Friends note that Sally sought emotional depth and stability in her relationships, but maintaining this was challenging under public scrutiny.
Despite two marriages, Sally never had biological children. Close friends say she lacked the "luxury of a life partner or children to lean on in difficult times." However, she shared a strong bond with her late daughter, Jan Kirkland—born to Rob Kirkland from a previous relationship—and her granddaughter, Hannah Bonta.
They were tragically murdered in 2019 in Florida.
Local 10 News reported that Jason Dale Roseman received a life sentence for stabbing his brother during a domestic incident. This loss came just weeks after the death of Robert, who passed away from kidney failure.
Sally Kirkland now resides in hospice care in Palm Springs, California, as her dementia progresses. Her representative Michael Greene confirmed she has been struggling with the condition for about a year. Throughout this difficult time, her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, has remained a constant support.
"She has been struggling with dementia for a year now," — Michael Greene, Sally Kirkland’s representative.
