Emmy-winning actress Sada Thompson has lost her fight against lung disease, aged 83.
The star died on Wednesday in Danbury, Connecticut.
Thompson launched her career on the stage in the 1950s, making her Broadway debut in 1959 musical Juno. She went on to portray multiple characters in the play Twigs, which landed her a Tony Award in 1972.
But she was perhaps best known for her role as TV matron Kate Lawrence on U.S. drama series Family, a role which earned her the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1978. Her performance on the show also garnered her three Golden Globe nominations.
Her other TV credits include appearances on legal drama Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law, Father Dowling Mysteries, hit sitcom Cheers and crime drama Law & Order.
Thompson's last screen role came in 2000 movie Pollack alongside Ed Harris.
She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Donald Stewart, and their daughter Liza Sgueglia, reports the New York Daily News.

Sada Thompson, a Tony- and Emmy-winning actress known for her portrayals of archetypal mothers, from the loving family caretaker and the world-weary, had-it-with-the-kids older woman to the brutalizing harridan and mythical adulteress and murderess, died Wednesday in Danbury, Conn. She was 83.
The cause was lung disease, said her daughter, Liza Sguaglia.
From 1976 to 1980 she starred as Kate Lawrence, the matriarch of an upper-middle-class family in ABC drama Family. Family dealt straightforwardly with issues like the marital problems of the Lawrences’ eldest daughter (played at the time by Meredith Baxter Birney); the discovery by the teenage son (Gary Frank) that his long-time best friend was gay; and the distress of the youngest daughter (Kristy McNichol) on overhearing her mother saying that she sometimes wished she hadn’t had her.
Thompson was nominated for an Emmy four times in the show’s five seasons, winning in 1978.
