Per the National Organisation for Rare Disorders, uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that starts in the uterus and may ‘spread to other areas of the body, especially the lungs and liver, often causing life-threatening complications’.
Notably, Anderson’s longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan, confirmed the death of the twice-Emmy-nominated and thrice-Golden Globe-nominated actor on August 5, after a prolonged illness.
“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” her family said in a statement.
She was cremated and buried in Hollywood on August 7.
