On this day in 1985 we lost our beloved Ruthie. She passed away following a stroke at her home in Edgartown, Massachusetts with her husband, Garson Kanin at her side. We love and miss you angel.♡ This is the last known picture of her, taken just a week before her death.

Happy heavenly birthday, Spencer Tracy!

On this day in 1985, our Ruthie died at her home in Edgartown, with her husband at her side. Even on that day, she worked on a play and went for a walk as usually. When she was asked what would people say about her in 50 years, she answered: "I guess they'll say I was great." ❤

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTHIE 💗 This tiny angel is one of the most inspirational women for me. She followed her dreams and worked so hard to achieve them and I continue to learn from her every day. I love you so much. Thank you for everything.

Happy birthday to the great Ruth Gordon! 💚 Seen here in two of her most iconic performances as Minnie Castevet in ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) and Maude in HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971).
