Linda Lawson, a famed singer and actress, has died. She was 86.

The Los Angeles Times' Legacy revealed the news in an obituary dedicated to Lawson, saying she died at the Motion Picture and Television Retirement Home on May 18.

It did not disclose whether Lawson suffered health issues before her death, but it was revealed that she died from natural causes after spending decades of her life in the retirement home. Lawson took her last breath peacefully, the press release noted.

"Throughout her life and up to the end, Linda remained a force of nature; funny, fierce, and whip smart. A loyal, generous friend and a wonderful mother, Linda Lawson will be sorely missed by all who know her. She is survived by her daughters Julie Foreman Hayes, Amanda Foreman, and many grandcats and goddogs," the post revealed.

Her family is yet to release a direct statement to address her death, but her daughters have since asked everyone to donate in her name instead to ASPCA or any animal rescue charity.

Linda Lawson's Life Before and After Becoming an Actress

Lawson, who was born in Michigan, was the daughter of Italian immigrant parents. She started her career after moving to Las Vegas where she sang and danced in The Sands Hotel. She also collaborated with Frank Sinatra and Lena Horn.

From there, she eventually landed the studio messenger work at MGM before starting her career as an actress.

Lawson then starred in several shows in the 1950s and 1960s when he appeared in the episodes of "Tales of the Texas Rangers," "Border Patrol," "Mr. Lucky," "Maverick," "The Aquanauts," and "Adventures in Paradise."

Aside from being an actress, Lawson also debuted as a singer through her 1960 song "Introducing Linda Lawson." She was also featured in other compilation albums while working on her own music.

Among the flicks she became part of, the 1961 "Night Tide" became her biggest break. She played Maura's character in the Curtis Harrington-directed drama, a mysterious mermaid.

This gave her an opportunity to land more roles in "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour," "Let's Kill Uncle," "Sunset Strip," "Bonanza," and "Ben Casey."

Before her death, she was still able to have final credits in "ER" and "Without a Trace."

She was survived by her daughters, Julie Foreman Hayes and Amanda Foreman. She shared her children with the late producer, John Foreman, who died in 1992.
