Former child star Sunni Welles has died at 72.
The actress had battled lung cancer.
Her son confirmed that she'd tragically died on Monday.
Sunni rose to fame when she was just 10 years old after landing a role in sitcoms Leave It To Beaver and My Three Sons.
She was also very well known for her friendship with Elvis Presley, which began when she toured the world as a singer and dancer.
The star went on to marry fellow singer and actor John O'Banion, with whom she welcomed son Shaun O'Banion before their divorce.
She enjoyed an acting career until the late 1990s, when she decided to retire and concentrate on her love of music instead.
She began performing as a jazz singer with her band Shiver, before later settling down in Santa Monica, California, where she worked as a spiritual medium until her lung cancer diagnosis.
