Cohen died on Friday in New York City, said her manager, Josh Pultz.
In her long showbiz career, Cohen had a career in stage, film and as a television performer.
She had many credits ranging from Nurse Jackie and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel.
Cohen also starred in feature films Across the Universe and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
