A trailblazer who became the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award in 1990, she starred alongside Daniel Day-Lewis and built a decades-long career across film, TV, and stage. Her powerful memoir, “She Died Young,” exposed her harrowing past, including trauma and institutionalization, and became a bestseller. Tributes poured in from across the globe — her agent called her an honor, while Ireland’s deputy prime minister hailed her as a national treasure and global ambassador of Irish talent. The world has lost a luminous, unforgettable voice. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
