"Casino Royale" actress Joanna Pettet has died.

Her manager, Pam Dubois, shared the sad news on social media, telling The Hollywood Reporter she passed Tuesday at Temecula Valley Hospital in California.

She died exactly 31 years after her son, Damien Cord, passed away at age 26 from a heroin overdose. She shared Damien with actor Alex Cord.

Joanna played a spy in 1967's "Casino Royale," which starred David Niven as James Bond. She was also known for playing one of the 8 Vassar graduates in the 1996 film, "The Group." She was also in the 1968 Western, "Blue," in which she starred opposite Terence Stamp.

She starred in a number of television films, including 1974's "Welcome to Arrow Beach," 1978's "The Evil" -- both horror movies.

She also appeared on TV, acting in four episodes of Rod Serling’s NBC early 1970s anthology series "Night Gallery" and landed a recurring role in "Knots Landing" in 1983 as homicide detective Janet Baines.

Joanna studied acting at Neighborhood Playhouse and landed a handful of Broadway roles before breaking into TV and film, such as in "Poor Richard," which saw her take the stage opposite Alan Bates and Gene Hackman.

She was 83.

The publicist said ... "Leo Thames is still too young for a large adult wedding celebration, but he and his mother were able to joyfully celebrate Taylor and Kelce’s marriage in his own very special, age-appropriate way during his summer break."
