The 'Thelma' actress plays an older woman who tells a lie that takes on a life of its own in a film co-starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Erin Kellyman and Jessica Hecht.

Scarlett Johansson’s 'Eleanor the Great' starring June Squibb had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival today, where it received a six-minute ovation.

Squibb has become the female Alan Arkin. She's 95 years old, but onscreen she delivers her zingers with the crack timing of an old person whose perception of the world is ageless in its bombs-away, truth-telling joy.
