Glenne Headly, the Emmy-nominated film and television actress who starred in the show "Dick Tracy" and the slapstick comedy movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," has died. She was 63.

A representative for Headly confirmed the news of her death to Variety. Deadline Hollywood also confirmed the news of her death, noting that the actress passed away Thursday night but no cause of death was available.

“It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of Glenne Headly,” the statement to Variety reads. “We ask that her family’s privacy be respected in this difficult time.”

After news of Headley's death, Hutcherson posted the following tribute to the actress on his Instagram account:

"I only knew the talented, empathetic, loving, beautiful Glenne Headly for a short time. She was powerful and strong and hilarious. Her eyes brought to life so many amazing characters over the years and her love brought to life a beautiful family. I'm gonna miss her presence, her smile, and the way she made me feel like her son before, between, and after they called action and cut. Grab onto those who make you feel loved. My heart is broken today and I can only imagine what those closest to her are going through. My broken heart goes out to all of you as well. This is a photo of my home. Kentucky. I love my family and friends so much. I hope you all feel it. With lead hearts we are going to celebrate the irreplaceable Glenne Headly. LOVE."

Seth Rogen tweeted that he was devastated by the news, calling Headly an amazing and incredibly talented person.

Headly got her start in theater before her role in the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," where she starred alongside Steve Martin and Michael, launched her film and television career. Martin paid his respects to Headley in a tweet, calling her his friend and a "comic genius."

Headly's recent roles included playing Lindsay Lohan's mother in the 2004 movie "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." In 2006, she appeared in the movie "The Namesake," based on the book by the same name and in 2013 she had a supporting role in the movie "Don Jon," that starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a ladies man who is addicted to porn.

She was nominated for two Emmy awards for the 1989 television show "Lonesome Dove" and the 1996 television film "Bastard Out of Carolina."

Headly is survived her husband Byron McCulloch and son Stirling, according to Variety.
