Deets: Join Academy Award-nominated actress June Squibb for a conversation with Scarlett Johansson about her remarkable career onscreen — and her Film Independent Spirit Award nominated turn in Thelma, which will screen after the talk.

Over a 70-year career, June Squibb appeared in the original stage production of Gypsy and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Alexander Payne’s Nebraska. But in Thelma, at the age of 95, she finds the role of her career. Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, Thelma follows an elderly grandmother on an odyssey across Los Angeles to reclaim $10,000 after she is scammed. Squibb anchors the film — her first starring role — with grit, determination, and infectious humor.

Enjoy Squibb with Johansson on her long, illustrious, uncommon career — how she and Margolin developed her character, finding comedy in the serious business of aging, stories from the set, and more followed by a screening of Thelma.
