June Squibb has only been acting for about seven decades, so forgive her if she hasn't figured this whole acting thing out yet. Luckily she isn't stopping or even slowing down. In fact, at 96 years old, she is more busy than ever before. Since her Oscar nomination for a supporting role in Alexander Payne's "Nebraska," Squibb has been in high demand. Her first leading role in a film, "Thelma," led to another, "Eleanor The Great," directed by Scarlett Johansson. And now she's about to take the stage in the exciting new Broadway production of "Marjorie Prime." On this episode, she talks about what she's anticipating with her return to New York theater. She explains how her acting teacher second husband gave her the tools to go deeper in the work, why the script is so important to her, what she learned from the great Ethel Merman, why she turns down most of the roles offered to her, and much more.
