Insiders said that Woodward has been staying strong while receiving medical care at her family mansion in a wooded area of Westport, Connecticut, with one previously telling RadarOnline.com that "it's unlikely she'll ever be seen in public again."

"They never got sucked into the trappings of Hollywood and raised a family with a strong set of ethics," added the source. "When she passes, it will mark the sad end of an era."
