Drama 'Gilmore Girls' and the film 'La La Land', among many other works, featured the exquisite supporting actress and powerful scene-stealer Bunny Levine (Bunny Levine), who has died at the age of 97.

On the 23rd (local time), according to foreign outlet the Daily Mail, Bunny Levine peacefully passed away in her sleep on the 20th at her home in Tarzana, Los Angeles, U.S. Local police say the deceased appears to have died of natural causes.

Born in 1928 in East Orange, New Jersey, Levine had a passion for acting from childhood, but for practical reasons worked as a school librarian for 25 years after graduating from college while raising her children. However, she did not give up her dream of acting; she chose early retirement, enrolled in an acting school later in life, and began auditioning in earnest.

Levine made her late debut in 1988 with the horror comedy film 'Slime City' and later appeared in prominent sitcoms and dramas such as 'Law & Order', Everybody Loves Raymond, and 'Gilmore Girls', gaining recognition. In particular, after leaving a mark with her distinctive performance on Everybody Loves Raymond, she became a frequent supporting actress and received many offers.

Even afterward, she continued energetic acting into her 90s, appearing in popular TV series such as 'Two Broke Girls', 'New Girl', 'Criminal Minds', and 'Shameless', and even appearing as a theater usher in the Oscar-winning film 'La La Land'. The deceased participated up to the film 'The Cure', released in 2026, and the short film 'Achiever', keeping her passionate acting spirit alive until the end.

Tributes from film fans around the world are pouring in for the Hollywood veteran actor who began acting late in life and brought laughter and emotion to countless audiences.<
