Priscilla Pointer, a celebrated actress with a career spanning more than 80 years, has died peacefully at the age of 100. Known for her powerful maternal roles in film and television, she often acted alongside her daughter, actress Amy Irving.
Born on May 18, 1924, in New York City to artist parents Augusta Leonora Davis and Kenneth Keith Pointer, she began her stage career in the late 1940s with acclaimed Broadway productions such as *A Streetcar Named Desire* and *The Country Wife*.
In the 1950s, she appeared on television shows like *China Smith*, but stepped away from acting to focus on family.
Returning in the 1970s, she gained recognition with her role on the soap opera *Where the Heart Is*. Pointer’s film work often reflected her real-life relationships, portraying Amy Irving’s mother in *Carrie* (1976) and collaborating with her children in various projects—most notably under the direction of her son, David Irving, in *Rumpelstiltskin* (1987). She also co-founded the San Francisco Actor’s Workshop with her first husband, Jules Irving, and later married actor Robert Symonds. Her final film appearance was in *The Rage: Carrie 2* (1999), and her last TV role was in *Cold Case* (2006). Priscilla Pointer passed away in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and is survived by her children David, Katie, and Amy.
