Broadway performer Camille Saviola passed away at 71 on Oct. 29, WarpFactorTrek.com reported. The actress also notably appeared in Woody Allen films including "Broadway Danny Rose" and "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and on TV played Turtle's mom on "Entourage," Kai Opaka on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and a Supreme Court justice on "First Monday" (pictured). Her great-niece Alyssa Romeo told Deadline the star died from heart failure following a brief illness. "She was a friend for 40 years who could always be counted on for a laugh, a shoulder or a kick in the a**," actor Harvey Fierstein, a longtime friend, wrote on Twitter, calling Camille "the Italian Godmother of Soul!"
