Nicolas Cage’s Mother, Former Dancer Joy Vogelsang, Is Dead At 85

As Christopher Coppola mentioned in his post, Joy Vogelsang battled mental illness for years, and Nicolas Cage has previously discussed how she was institutionalized. Nevertheless, Cage has also mentioned how his mother served as a motivator for him, as he progressed through his career. And Coppola’s post only adds to the notion that she was there for her sons when she could be.
