Actor Gena Rowlands poses for a portrait at the London West Hollywood hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., on Dec. 4, 2014. Gena Rowlands, the acclaimed American actress, three-time Emmy winner and dual Oscar nominee for her vivid portrayals of strong, troubled women in the crime drama"Gloria" and"A Woman Under the Influence," has died at the age of 94, Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday, citing her son, Nick Cassavetes.
"Independent filmmaking existed before Cassavetes, but Cassavetes, working with Rowlands, managed to make an independent cinema that borrowed from Hollywood - not in plots or styles but in actorly allure and dramatic power," the New Yorker said in 2016. "Rowlands' sublime acting is almost unprecedentedly id-driven: her beleaguered heroines operate from such deep reserves of need that can only be accessed by Rowlands, who doesn't just claim moments but wrestles with them in order to extract even tougher layers of authenticity," critic Matthew Eng said on the Tribeca News website in 2016.Virginia Cathryn"Gena" Rowlands was born on June 19, 1930, in Cambria, Wis.
Rowlands worked in regional theater and TV before making her Broadway debut in"Middle of the Night" in 1956. Two years later she landed her first film role in"The High Cost of Loving" and appeared in Cassavetes's directorial debut film"Shadows." The independent film icon found a new audience when she returned to the big screen in 2004 as the older version of actress Rachel McAdams's character in"The Notebook."
