Rowlands, acclaimed for her vivid portrayals of strong, troubled women, starred in dozens of films during a career that began on stage and television in the 1950s.
Rowlands made 10 films with Cassavetes before his death in 1989, including the psychological drama Opening Night (1977) and the marital saga Faces (1968).
There was always a manic energy to the performances she gave in her late husband's films, a fear of failure, a desire to love, the awards website Golden Derby said.
In A Woman Under the Influence, Rowlands played Mabel Longhetti, a housewife and mother struggling with mental illness, in a performance described as the greatest performance I've ever seen on film.
