A year ago Leigh was diagnoses with vasculitis, an inflammation of the blood vessels. She died peacefully in her Beverly Hills home on Sunday with her husband Robert Brandt and her daughters Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis at her side, according to a spokeswoman for Jamie Lee Curtis. 

'Psycho' was not Leigh's only memorable film role. Her career included over 60 feature film and television roles. Most notable were roles in "The Manchurian Candidate" where she played opposite Frank Sinatra and the Orson Welles classic "Touch of Evil" where she played opposite of Charlton Heston.
