She is terrific. The best actor in the movie. She plays a grandmother living with her daughter and she is always drinking wine. She hasn't had many juicy roles, but her work has always captivated me. I loved her in Mary Tyler Moore show, Malcolm in the Middle. She is 93 years old and still making movies. I am in awe of her stamina. I read that Marlon Brando tried to go after her, but she knew he was trouble and stayed away from him.







Unfortunately the best scene I could find her in is in French
