Jill Clayburgh, who stared in many 70s and '80s movies from An Unmarried Woman to It's My Turn, died at her Connecticut home today from chronic leukemia, a disease she quietly battled for 21 years, her husband, playwright David Rabe, told The New York Times. She was 66 years old. This week the couple's daughter, Broadway actress Lily Rabe, took a temporary leave of absence from her show in which she is about to open, Shakespeare's A Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino. Besides David and Lily Rabe, Clayburgh is also survived by a son, Michael, a stepson, Jason, and a brother, James.
