Glenne Headly, best known for her work in the films “Dick Tracy” with Warren Beatty and Madonna as well as “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” alongside Michael Caine and Steve Martin, has died at 62.
She earned two Emmy nominations for “Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie” for her work in 1989’s “Lonesome Dove” and 1996’s “Bastard Out of Carolina.”
“It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of Glenne Headly,” confirmed a representative. “We ask that her family’s privacy be respected in this difficult time.”
The star was previously married to actor John Malkovich for six years during the 1980’s — but divorced him after she learned he had an affair with co-star Michelle Pfeiffer while the pair were making the historical drama “Dangerous Liaisons!”

The Connecticut native was currently co-starring in the Hulu comedy series “Future Man” with Josh Hutcherson and Ed Begley Jr.
“I’m gonna miss her presence, her smile, and the way she made me feel like her son before, between, and after they called action and cut,” posted Hutcherson on Instagram.
Ironically, her most recent movie role was as the wife of the recently deceased Bill Paxton in the Tom Hanks film, “The Circle” – playing the parents of Emma Watson’s character.
She also appeared in Woody Allen’s, “The Purple Rose Of Cairo” and co-starred with Richard Dreyfuss as his wife in the critically-acclaimed film, “Mr. Holland’s Opus.”
“Our household mourns the sudden loss of beloved friend, actress, and comic genius, Glenne Headly,” tweeted Steve Martin.
No cause of death has been announced.
