Carol Sutton, an actress best known for her work in the movie Steel Magnolias, has sadly died at the age of 76 due to complications from coronavirus.

Sutton died on Thursday (December 10) in New Orleans after being hospitalized for several days, according to local outlet WGNO.

In the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias, Carol played the role of Nurse Pam. She also appeared in the recent movie Poms and in TV shows like Queen Sugar, Lovecraft Country, and True Detective.

LaToya Cantrell, the mayor of New Orleans, said, “Carol Sutton was practically the Queen of New Orleans theater, having graced the stages across the city for decades. The world may recognize her from her performances in movies and on TV — whether it’s Treme or Claws, or Runaway Jury or Queen Sugar — but we will always remember her commanding stage presence, her richly portrayed characters, and the warm heart she shared with her fellow cast and crew in productions such as 4000 Miles and A Raisin in the Sun. May she rest in God’s perfect peace.”

We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to Carol‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Diane Keaton is all smiles as she hits the carpet with her co-star Alisha Boe at the premiere of their film Poms held at the Regal LA Live on Tuesday (May 1) in Los Angeles.

The 73-year-old actress was also joined at the event by Sarah Paulson, who came out to show her support, and cast mates Pam Grier, Jacki Weaver, Alexandra Ficken, Rhea Pearlman, Celia Weston, Carol Sutton, Patti French and Jessica Roth.

That same day, Diane stopped The Ellen DeGeneres Show for a quick cameo, airing on Thursday (May 2), and played a hilarious round of Ellen‘s “10 Second Rule.”

At one point, Diane had to reveal her three favorite body parts on a man: “Oh my God, the penis, the lips, and the tongue!,” Diane hilariously exclaimed.

FYI: Alisha is wearing a Brock Collection gown.
