The mum-of-three enjoyed a glittering career in film and TV, appearing in over 60 productions over the years.

She was mum to actor Sean, 62, musician Michael, 64, and actor Chris who passed away in 2006 at the age of 40.

Eileen’s eldest son Michael poignantly tweeted a photo of his beloved mother alongside a broken heart emoji.

He wrote: “We lost mom yesterday.”

The veteran actress, who appeared in iconic films including Magnolia and I Am Sam, would have turned 95 on October 16.

She got hitched to actor and director Leo Penn in 1957 just two months after they met, before his death in 1998.

The 94-year-old was often seen on the arm of her famous son Sean at red-carpet events and even made cameos in several of his films.
