“Her husband, Stephen Eckelberry, confirmed the death on Facebook on Thursday. The actress, famous for her performances in “Five Easy Pieces,” “The Great Gatsby,” “Easy Rider” and “Nashville,” had been battling cancer for the last few years.

Diagnosed with ampullary cancer in November 2010, the actress sought crowd-funding when her disease recurred in June 2012. Black’s husband, Stephen Eckelberry, turned to the website GoFundMe.com, to raise money to support a two-month clinical treatment in Europe for the actress.”
