Laura Ziskin, who produced the "Spider-Man" movie franchise among many other hits in a 35-year Hollywood career, has died. She was 61.

Ziskin, who fought a seven-year battle against breast cancer, died Sunday evening at her Santa Monica, Calif., home, according to a statement from the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Over a 35-year career, Ziskin was producer or executive producer of such crowd-pleasers as "No Way Out" with Kevin Costner, "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and "As Good as It Gets," which won Academy Awards for Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.

She produced the three "Spider-Man" features and at the time of her death was working on a fourth, "The Amazing Spider-Man."
