Veteran character actress Esther Scott -- who's been in countless movies and shows over the years -- has died.

A member of Esther's family tells TMZ ... Esther suffered an apparent heart attack last Tuesday at her Santa Monica home, and was later found unconscious and taken to a hospital. We're told she remained hospitalized for a few more days before eventually passing on Friday.

She was surrounded by family and loved ones at the time she died.

Esther had a massive resume, having appeared in at least 73 films and shows dating back to the '80s. She's perhaps most well known for her role as Bridget, one of Nat Turner's relatives, in 2016's 'Birth of a Nation.' Esther's been in several other projects, however.



She's also been the voice Shodu in the 'Star Wars' animated spin-off, 'Ewoks' -- and had a memorably hilarious scene in 'Boyz n the Hood.' She played the grandmother of a girl who hooked up with Tre, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character.



Her resume is crazy impressive, with roles on "Encino Man," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Full House," "The Wayans Bros.," "Martin," "Nash Bridges," "Melrose Place," "ER" and "The King of Queens" ... just to name a few.

Esther was 66. RIP

The recreation of his story about getting some pussy and Esther Scott came after him with a meat cleaver. Maybe she was going to cut if off so the dog could not use it anymore.
I have seen here in some more movies. She only had a very small and short role in Boyz In The Hood.

We have to start taking care of ourselves.

A lot of these deaths are from binging or whatever our vices are.

Moderation is the key to a possible long life.

66 is too young to go...too fucking young but I'm noticing a pattern in our black celebs dying at young ages and I know exactly what it is...binging and not just a crazy weekend...binging for years.

Rest up sista!
