Canadian-born actress Alberta Watson, best known for her roles on "24" and "Nikita", died Saturday. She was 60.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the luminous Alberta Watson. Alberta died in the arms of her beloved husband Ken on Saturday March 21st at Kensington Hospice after a long and incredibly courageous battle with cancer,” Watson’s agency said in a statement.

On the fourth season of "24" Watson played Erin Driscoll, the new director of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit who fired Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland).

Her other film/tv roles include:

"Law & Order"
"The Equalizer"
"Buck James"
"La Femme Nikita" and The CW's "Nikita" reboot (which wound up being her last role)
The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
The Prince and Me (2004)

I didn't watch 24, but thought she was great in the movies The Sweet Hereafter and Spanking the Monkey.
