JUNE SQUIBB – AGE 91

June Squibb worked in minor supporting roles for most of her six-decade acting career before she was eventually remembered for her excellent performance in the comedy-drama Nebraska. She spent the first half of her acting career primarily in theatre. She made her Broadway debut as Dulcie in an off-Broadway version of The Boyfriend. 30 years on Broadway and musicals would have been a lifetime’s worth of acting investments for most actresses, but her acting career had plenty to say when she made her feature film debut opposite Al Pacino in 1990’s Scent of a Woman.

This was followed by a series of movies showcasing her versatility as an actress. Her performance was critically acclaimed, winning her nominations for several film critics’ awards. Even though she is in her 80s, Squibb feels like she is just getting started. Squibb says she has plans in the works, but retirement is not one of them. She believes that she will never retire.
