Died the actress who played with Tom Hanks in the cult comedy

American actress Irma Hall, known for the comedy “Gentlemen’s Game”, died on November 10 at the age of 91. The actress died in Dallas, Texas, surrounded by loved ones, according to her family. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

Hall was born in 1935 in Texas and worked as a school teacher for more than two decades before starting a full-fledged acting career. She made her film debut in 1973, but she became widely known much later, after the release of the drama Food for the Soul in 1997. For her role as Big Mom, she won the NAACP Image Award.

One of Hall's most famous works was the Coen brothers' 2004 comedy Gentlemen's Game, in which she played homeowner Marva Munson alongside Tom Hanks. This role earned her a special jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The actress also starred in the films “Healer Adams”, “Accomplice”, “Nothing to Lose” and the television series “Chicago on Fire”.
