    NEW YORK (Reuters) -Gena Rowlands, the acclaimed American actress, three-time Emmy winner and dual Oscar nominee for her vivid portrayals of strong, troubled women in the crime drama "Gloria" and "A Woman Under the Influence," has died at the age of 94, Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday, citing her son, Nick Cassavetes.

    Rowlands starred in dozens of films during a career that began on stage and television in the 1950s and included award-winning roles in movies directed by her first husband, actor, writer and director John Cassavetes.

    Nick Cassavetes revealed in June that Rowlands had Alzheimer's, like her own mother and the character she portrayed in the 2004 film "The Notebook."

    That's too bad. She had a 65 year long career, for goodness sake. Her husband (John Cassavettes) died when Gina was 58 years old, and she remarried at the age of 82.

    RIP

    I love Hope Floats! It was filmed in Smithville TX where my son lives. I have seen "her house" in Smithville. (Plus I love Sandra Bullock.)
