Her daughter Sheri Cates Morgan announced her death on Sunday. Tuesday, Cates’s co-star Leonardo DiCaprio remembered her fondly on Facebook. Wrote the Revenant actor, “Darlene was the best acting mom I ever had the privilege of working alongside. Her endearing personality and incredible talent will live on in the memories of those who knew her, and those who loved her work. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.†DiCaprio earned his first Academy Award nomination and Golden Globe nod for his depiction of Cates’s mentally disabled son Arnie Grape.
