The mother of Oscar-nominated actor Amy Irving, Pointer was 100 years old.

In the 1976 movie “Carrie” she played Mrs. Snell, mother to Sue Snell, who was played by her daughter Amy.

Amy Irving told The Times in 1997 that her mother and Symonds were “unbelievably well-suited” as a couple.

Amy Irving told The Times in 2007, “I grew up watching my dad directing Mom and Bob in the leads of plays, and the three of them were best friends. That was where I began to develop my passion for acting and learn how to do it.”

Pointer is survived by her three children from her first marriage, David, Katie and Amy, and many grandchildren.
