Diane Ladd, the three-time Academy Award nominee whose roles ranged from the brash waitress in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" to the protective mother in "Wild at Heart," has died at 89. Ladd's death was announced Monday by daughter Laura Dern, who issued a statement saying her mother and occasional co-star had died at her home in Ojai, California, with Dern at her side. Dern, who called Ladd her "amazing hero" and "profound gift of a mother, did not immediately cite a cause of death. "She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created," Dern wrote. "We were blessed to have her. She is flying with her angels now."
