The star, who as an androgynous teen appeared in movies including "Days of Heaven" and "Out of the Blue", died on Friday (14Aug20) of pneumonia and lung cancer, according to extended family posting on social media.

In 1979, she had the fondly remembered supporting role of Peewee in the hit film "The Wanderers".
One of its stars, Ken Wahl, wrote of Manz on Facebook following news of her death, "She was great to work with and I'm glad I got to speak with her before she passed."
Manz's last starring role was in 1980's "Out of the Blue", in which she was directed by and acted alongside Dennis Hopper.
