According to The Guardian's report on her death, Irma P. Hall, the actor known for her roles in Soul Food and the Coen brothers' The Ladykillers, died at the age of 91. The report said Hall died on Tuesday and that her family confirmed the death.
The family issued a statement describing Hall as "a beloved actress, author, poet, educator and public speaker whose contributions touched countless lives," according to The Guardian.
The Guardian also reported that Hall was once a Dallas school teacher and became a star in later life, with roles in Soul Food and Collateral. Its summary places her teaching career before her acting career, and it does not give the years of either phase.
ABC News also reported Hall's death at 91, identifying her in its headline as the actor behind Soul Food and The Ladykillers. The ABC News summary available for this report ends after her name, so its account is limited to its headline.
The Guardian's summary is also cut off mid-sentence, so this report relies only on the portions described above. Both sources agree on her age and on her Soul Food and The Ladykillers credits. The ABC News headline gives her age as 91, matching The Guardian.
The available summaries do not say where or how Hall died, and they give no details of funeral or memorial arrangements. The Guardian report was written by Owen Myers.
