The Parent Trip actress Joanna Barnes died at the age of 89, as tributes pour in.
The longtime Hollywood actress died Friday at her home following what was described as a lengthy illness by friend Sally Jackson.
The actress appeared in both the original and remakes of The Parent Trap.
In the original 1861 version of the hit comedy, she played Vicky Robinson, the wicked gold digger, out to sink her claws into the twins’ dad.
Then, in the 1998 remake starring Lindsay Lohan, she played Vicki Blake, the mother of that actress who played the gold-digging girlfriend.
Her other film credits include Auntie Mame, Home Before Dark, Spartacus and The War Wagon.
