"It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of Glenne Headly. We ask that that her family's privacy be respected in this difficult time." That was the confirmation from her reps on the sad news that 63-year-old actress Glenne Headly had died.

The talented Headley started her career on stage as one of the original members of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater Company along with her future husband John Malkovich. They married in 1982 but were divorced in 1988. She made her film debut in 1981 in the drama Four Friends and went on to star as Tess Trueheart in Dick Tracy and appeared in Doctor Detroit, Fandango, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Sgt. Bilko, Mr. Holland's Opus, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and more.

On Television she was nominated for Emmys for her role on Lonesome Dove and in Bastard Out of Carolina, spent a season on ER as well as appeared in Encore! Encore! and the HBO series The Night Of. She had recently appeared in the Emma Watson and Tom Hanks film The Circle and was currently in production on the Seth Rogen and Even Goldberg series Future Man.

She is survived by her husband Byron McCulloch and son Stirling. Headly and McCulloch met on the set of 1992's Ordinary Magic which he worked on as a camera grip. The two were married a year later in 1993.
