Linda Duncombe, a longtime banking executive and independent film producer, died on Sunday. She was 55.

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation, where Duncombe served on the board of directors, announced her death on Monday. She died of complications from a stroke shortly after being diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer, her friend and producing partner Josh Friedman told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Some people come into your life and it changes you,” Friedman shared in a statement. “Linda coming into my life transformed me. I am who I am because of her. She was an anchor and a lighthouse to so many.”

Born on Feb. 10, 1971, in Australia, Duncombe later graduated from Western Sydney University and Harvard Business School. She then spent more than 35 years in banking, including at Citibank in Australia and later at the company’s subsidiary, Citi Fintech, in New York.
