Doris Elliott, a longtime friend, confirmed Dennis' death late Tuesday. She said she learned of Dennis' death Monday from the actress's agent, Bill Tresch, but didn't know when she died.
Dennis had been suffering from ovarian cancer, said another friend, speaking on condition of anonymity. The actress had lived in Westport with her mother, Yvonne.
Dennis made her movie debut in 1961, playing a supporting role in Elia Kazan's "Splendor in the Grass."
She emerged as a star on Broadway. She won two Tony Awards in succession - for "A Thousand Clowns" and "Any Wednesday."
