An actress who starred in television shows in the 1950s and 1960s and was the mother of a two-time Academy Award winner has died, reports The New York Times.

Margaret Field, who starred in some of the most-watched television shows of the time, was 89. She was the mother of famed TV and film actress Sally Field.

Margaret Field appeared in many TV shows, including "The Twilight Zone," "Perry Mason," "Bonanza" and "Yancy Derringer," which starred her then-husband, Jock Mahoney, the story notes. She also played the lead role in the 1951 sci-fi movie "The Man From Planet X," among a number of film appearances.
