June Squibb talks Thelma, Nebraska, and finally being number one on the call sheet

The prolific journeywoman continues breaking new ground well into her 90s

The actor: June Squibb is the very model of the journeywoman actor. She’ll turn 95 this November and has been working as a professional thespian for 73 years. She caught the performance bug from her mother, JoyBelle, who played piano accompaniment for silent films screening at their local movie house. She remembers tap dancing on tables as a kid, loving the applause. So at 22, she moved to Cleveland where she established a work ethic singing, dancing, and acting in countless shows.

A lot of film actors—I don’t know how to explain it because I don’t really understand it—but they keep their voice very low. It works for them, and I’m not negative at all. But I don’t do that. I think a lot of that is because of my theater background. I know I don’t have to project to the back of the theater and I recognize that. And I have changed in terms of work and how I work. But I don’t watch dailies and that stems from the theater, because in the theater you don’t watch yourself.
