She’s been at it long enough to know not to spoil a deal before its fully negotiated so Squibb changed the subject to the next big role that’s already been reported: Squibb takes on the title role in Scarlett Johansson‘s directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jessica Hecht and Erin Kellyman.“I’m very excited about that. To have movies like Thelma and Eleanor the Great, you don’t often have two in a row like these, I’ll tell you that,” said the actress who experienced a career bump thanks to an Oscar nominated turn opposite Bruce Dern in Alexander Payne’s Nebraska.Written by Tory Kamen, Eleanor follows Eleanor Morgenstein, a 90-year-old woman as she attempts to rebuild her life after the death of her best friend. As a result, she moves back to New York City after living in Florida for many years.“She was wonderful,” Squibb says of Johansson. “With her knowledge as an actress, she knew immediately what I was doing, where I was going and how I was shifting everything. That’s wonderful because you don’t often have that. I’ve worked with wonderful directors that don’t have that kind of knowledge like Scarlett does, so this was something very special.”Squibb said that she and Johansson got along immediately. “You just have to love her. She’s so down-to-Earth. She is so real. We really met on that level, the two of us, because we are both that way.”
“人们真的对我首次担当主角很重视,”这位经验丰富的女演员在谈到乔什·马戈林的《末路老奶》时说道,她在今年11月份已经95岁了。“每个人都笑着说了一遍又一遍。人们对此印象深刻,就像其他事情一样,他们对我依旧要去演的事实印象深刻。”June Squibb在2024年有多部作品问世,包括《Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead》《Velma》《头脑特工队2》《美国恐怖故事》和《Lost & Found in Cleveland》; 在新的一年还会有更多作品。
