Actress Penelope Milford has died at 77.
The talented actress who was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actress category for her work in 1978 film Coming Home passed away Tuesday in Saugerties, New York.
Her brother Doug Milford confirmed her death but no cause has been revealed.
She starred as Vi Munson in the Hal Ashby directed flick which also starred Jane Fonda, Jon Voight, and Bruce Dern.
The film was set in California and is centered around a woman whose husband is a Marine officer fighting in Vietnam falls in love with a former high school classmate who suffered a paralyzing combat injury in the war.
Her character Vi was the sister of Robert Carradine’s character Bill Munson who came home with grave emotional problems after just two weeks in Vietnam and resides at the Veterans Administration hospital.
