At 95, June Squibb has redefined what it means to be a leading lady in Hollywood. Her starring turn in Eleanor the Great, directed by Scarlett Johansson, stunned critics at the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section earlier this year.
Johansson told Reuters the film 'centres on forgiveness and empathy,' a theme that resonated deeply with Squibb. 'When I began to read the script,' the actress said, 'I felt that this is something I had to do.'
