Mahaffey earned the supporting comedy actress award for her performance as Eve in CBS comedy-drama Northern Exposure in the 1990s but will be most recognisable to many for more recent roles in Young Sheldon and Desperate Housewives.
Mahaffey's death was confirmed by her husband, actor Joseph Kell, who said she passed yesterday (Friday 30th May) in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer.
Mahaffey was born in Indonesia, where she was raised until the age of 11 before going on to graduate from high school in Austin, Texas, and from the University of Texas.
In 2020, she was nominated for a Spirit Award for her performance as widow Madame Reynard in the 2020 comedy-drama French Exit, which also starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges.
More recently, she has starred in Montana-based crime drama Big Sky, alongside Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini in Dead To Me, and in Apple TV series Echo 3.
