Actress and Film Director Margaret Whitton died on Sunday at the age of 67.

The Major League star passed away peacefully at her home in Palm Beach, Fla., after a short battle with cancer, Variety reports.


Whitton began her acting career in "Baba Goya," an off-Broadway show in 1973. Her first major on screen role came in 1986 when she starred as Molly in "9 ½ Weeks," alongside Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. She landed a lead role in "Major League" a few years later followed by its sequel, "Major League II."

Later in her career she started focusing on producing and directing. She co-founded Tashtego Films with her husband, Warren Spector, and producer, Steven Tabakin, in 2008.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this tough time.
