Yesterday morning--May 1, 2021, Olympia Dukakis came to that point. She was 89. On June 20, she would have turned 90. What a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will always love her for that line, and so many others, in 1987's "Moonstruck," for which she and her "daughter," Cher, won Oscars, and, now with her passing, most of its cast is now dead.
But she was no slouch. She did stage and television, too; how I wish I had seen her on the stage. She must have been dynamite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her passing leaves a wound in the fabric of the acting community, but as long as we screen her as Rose, she will always be remembered.
When her cousin, Michael, ran for President, I voted for him. One determining factor was he was quoted in an article as saying his favorite movie was "The Song Of Bernadette."
See? It all comes back to Bernadette and Jennifer Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest In Peace, Miss Dukakis. May Bernadette and Jennifer be on hand to greet you!

Her movies are enjoying a revival at the moment!
Victoria,
Is that right? I hope I can
catch a screening of "Moonstruck!"
The film, 'Over the Hill', is one I return to several times a month, even as it is painful to watch Ms. Dukakis' character, utterly deflate, temporarily, but I fault the director with the lack of subtlety, a trait for which Dukakis excelled, at that moment.
100% Pure,
I am not familiar with that film.
I must give it a look. She was
a great actress.
Thanks for sharing!
