An actress who came up alongside Barry Levinson's Diner ensemble in 1982 and spent the following decades moving fluidly between hard-edged film noir and comedy, from The Big Easy to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. She won a Primetime Emmy for the television film Before Women Had Wings and, decades into her career, a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's drama about the early AIDS crisis. She later led the TNT series Animal Kingdom as the family's steely matriarch.
