The 93-year-old screen legend, also widely known for being the widow of Paul Newman, is fortunately in good hands during this fragile time for the family.
One pal in her inner circle revealed Woodward is now receiving at-home hospice care and has been surrounded by the three daughters she shared with the actor, as well as Paul's girls shared with his first wife.
"At this point, the best that can be done for Joanne is to keep her comfortable while waiting for the inevitable," said a pal. "It's a tribute to her courage and determination that she has lived with this debilitating disease as long as she has."
The Three Faces of Eve star was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007. Woodward and Newman had been together 50 years when he died in 2008 from lung cancer. He was 83.
In the future, Woodward's estimated $50 million estate is set to be divided between her daughters for their favorite charitable causes....
