Sylvia Miles died in an ambulance on the way to hospital in Manhattan yesterday. Her death was confirmed by friends Michael Musto and Mauricio Padilha. Journalist Musto shared his memories of the two-time Oscar nominated actress in a touching obituary published by Paper. He called Miles a “feisty soul who came to personally represent the idiosyncratic sparkle of our city at night in the 70s and 80s,” and said her “smoky laugh could light up a room”.
The cause of death has not yet been reported.
Miles was known for her roles in Midnight Cowboy, Farwell My Lovely and Sunset Boulevard.
