In this file photo taken on May 24, 2013, Actress Olympia Dukakis is honoured with the 2,498th Star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame Hollywood, California.

The passing of the theatre veteran, who made a name for herself in film late in her career, was confirmed on Facebook by her brother Apollo. “The fun part is that people pass me on the street and yell lines from my movies: For ‘Moonstruck’ they say, ‘Your life is going down the toilet,'” Dukakis told the Los Angeles Times in 1991. “It’s real funny.”

By 1988, with her Oscar, Dukakis was a household name in America because of the award and because her cousin Michael Dukakis had won the Democratic presidential nomination.
