Headly, a native of Connecticut, got her start in theater and went on to star in several productions including “Extremities” alongside Susan Sarandon in 1982.

Eventually, she made the transition to film and her breakout role is credited to “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” opposite Steve Martin and Michael Caine.

Headly went on to star in more than 25 films, including “Mortal Thoughts,” ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus” and “Sgt. Bilko.”
Headly earned two Emmy nominations for “Lonesome Dove” and “Bastard Out of Carolina.”

She was in the middle of filming the Hulu series “Future Man” alongside Josh Hutcherson and Ed Begley Jr. before her death.

In 1982, she married John Malkovich; they divorced in 1988. She then married McCulloch in 1993 and they had a son.
