In fact, at 96 years old, she is more busy than ever before. Since her Oscar nomination for a supporting role in Alexander Payne's Nebraska, Squibb has been in high demand."
"Her first leading role in a film, Thelma, led to another, Eleanor The Great, directed by Scarlett Johansson.

She explains how her acting teacher second husband gave her the tools to go deeper in the work, why the script is so important to her,"
