Shirley Douglas, an actress in films directed by Stanley Kubrick and David Cronenberg and the mother of actor Kiefer Sutherland, died Sunday. She was 86.

Sutherland announced his mother's death on Twitter, saying she died of complications surrounding pneumonia. He noted her passing was not related to COVID-19, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"My mother was an extraordinary woman who led an extraordinary life," Sutherland wrote. "Sadly she had been battling for her health for quite some time and we, as a family, knew this day was coming. To any families who have lost loved ones unexpectedly to the coronavirus, my heart breaks for you. Please stay safe."

Douglas, whose birthday was Thursday, was married to actor Donald Sutherland from 1966 until their 1971 divorce, and they had twins, Kiefer and Rachel. Her father was former Saskatchewan premier Tommy Douglas, the founder of Canada's Medicare.
