Misty Upham Looks Stunning At August: Osage County Premiere Misty Upham looks stunning at August: Osage County premiere in Los Angeles 'Our thoughts are with her beautiful spirit': Meryl Streep leads tributes to August: Osage County co-star Misty Upham Meryl Streep has paid an emotional tribute to her August: Osage County co-star Misty Upham. A body found near a river south of Seattle, Washington was confirmed to be that of the 32-year-old actres, who disappeared nearly two weeks ago after telling authorities she was suicidal. And acting legend Meryl, 65, was quick to offer her condolences to the family of the talented performer, who was best known for her turn in Frozen River. Meryl told the Hollywood Reporter: ' So so sad to hear this news — all our thoughts are with her family and with her beautiful spirit.' The pair grew close when Misty played Meryl's maid in the Oscar nominated John Wells directed ensemble drama. Meanwhile, her Frozen River co-star Melissa Leo also spoke out, saying she is 'Such a loss… so sad, so so sad.' Upham, 32, a Native American actress who earned wide praise for her roles in movies including August: Osage County, Frozen River and Django Unchained, had last been seen on October 5 near a relative's home in Auburn, Washington. The actress had returned to the Seattle-area to help care for her father, Charles Upham, who suffered a stroke last year. Shortly after her disappearance, Upham told KIRO-FM that his daughter was upset and erratic and had stopped taking medication for anxiety and bipolar disorder. Auburn police had responded to a suicide call at Misty Upham's residence in the days before she was last seen, authorities said. Her father said he did not believe she was suicidal. The identity of the body discovered Thursday near the White River, about 30 miles south of downtown Seattle, has not been confirmed and the cause of death was not yet known, officials said. The coroner’s office will make a positive identification, authorities said. Mr Upham told the MailOnline late Wednesday that he was frantic to find his daughter and felt that media attention had focused on her glamorous days on the red carpet and not her as a 'normal person.' He said the actress, a member of the Blackfoot tribe, had cut off her long locks before she went missing.
