Olympia Dukakis, the veteran stage and screen actress who won an Oscar for her role in the romantic comedy "Moonstruck," has died at the age of 89, the National Herald website reports today (May 2, 2021).
Dukakis died yesterday in her home in New York City, according to Allison Levy, her agent at Innovative Artists. She referred to her 1988 Oscar win as "the year of the Dukakii" because it was the year Masachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis , her cousin, was the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
The former Mass. governor has been a distinguished professor of political science at Northeastern University in Boston since 1988.
