June Squibb's film debut in Woody Allen's 'Alice' came at age 60, leading to an Oscar-nominated performance in 'Nebraska' at 83, showcasing resilience in aging.
In 'Thelma,' at 95, Squibb takes her first leading role, portraying a phone scam victim, adding depth to the stereotype of mischievous seniors.
'Thelma' avoids cheap jokes about old age, instead addressing how society patronizes seniors, highlighting important societal issues through its cheery tone.
May the characters like Carrie in 'The Trip to Bountiful' and the war vet in 'The Straight Story' showcase the gentle rebellion of older adults.
