The sudden passing of the Oscar-winning star Olympia Dukakis took Hollywood by storm this weekend and left her fans and fellow actors mourning her loss. Dukakis left an impressive legacy behind, with over a hundred movies and TV credits under her belt—and here are some of her most memorable roles.

Moonstruck

Dukakis starred alongside Cher and Nicolas Cage in this 80s rom-com but still managed to stand her ground and win an Oscar and Golden Globe for her supporting role.

Sinatra

Dukakis proved her ability to play historical figures with the role of Dolly Sinatra in this biographical mini-series, and her performance was rewarded with a Golden Globe nod.

Steel Magnolias

Steel Magnolias was so star-studded that a lesser actress would struggle to make a mark, but Dukakis was unforgettable in the role of Clairee Belcher, the cheerful widow of the former mayor.

Look Who’s Talking

Dukakis, once again, proved herself as a scene-stealer in this hit comedy movie from 1989 and reprised her role in the two sequels that came out during the early 90s.

Tales of the City

The adaptation of Armistead Maupin’s famed novel was one of the most memorable TV projects of Dukakis’ career, and she went to reprise the role of Anna Madrigal in several more mini-series based on his work.
