Lee Grant

DAMIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

93??? Holy fuck, time flies.

Was it mostly liquid or mostly poopie?

There was an entire thread posted about her here less than a year ago. And yes, she's still alive and well.

Her memoir was published a few years ago. I bought it, read it, and really enjoyed it.

Too much plastic surgery but she doesn't look in her 90s.

Lee Grant back in the day.

In the 90's I would see her almost weekly at the French Quarter restaurant in West Hollywood playing Canasta with Kirk Douglas.

R6, She speaks and moves like someone 25 years younger. She’s actually incredible

It's all for you, OP!

Warren Beatty on top of Lee grant in "Shampoo".

A Goddess.

Her birth name was Lyova Haskell Rosenthal.

Lee Grant winds the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Shampoo.

The summer wind

Her iconic guest appearance on One Day at a Time. They should have recast the part of Ann Romano then and there.

Met her last April at the Chiller autograph show in Jersey. She was very cool.

She was no Lee Meriwether.

In that video she looks scary but she talks, acts and moves like she's in her 60's.

She's no Lee Remick.

I think she washed a whole sinkful of dirty dishes during the first half of that Gillian Girl commercial and arrived just in time to catch the rest.

So how old was she in Shampoo ?

I never realized Dinah Manoff was her daughter. Dinah’s son (Lee’s grandson) died in a car crash last year at age 20 on his way back to college in Washington State. Looked like a great kid. Now I’m really bummed at how unfair life is.

She's no Lou Grant.

She’s no Lee Majors

PLeese don't take her for Granted.

Lee Grant is a year OLDER than Angela Lansbury!

Imagine that.

The guy in the white T is hot in R6's video.

She's no Robert E. Lee.

[quote] She's almost 93.

Practically a babe in arms!

She gave "I'll heat up the lasagna" all the authority of someone acting in an Ibsen drama.

I love you, R31.

She's no Stouffer's.

She lives in New York down in the village. She's in great shape for almost being 93. You can see her on occasion shopping at the food stores. Honest.

She's fat.

Ha, she's actually about 80 pounds, tiny little thing.

She's no Ginger Grant

Does Lee Grant hate spunk?

She lost an actor's prime years due to the blacklist. By the time she made a comeback in Peyton Place, she was almost 40. So the career she managed to have since then is quite remarkable.

[quote] So the career she managed to have since then is quite remarkable.

I grant you that.

i only know her from Mulholland Drive

Fay!

Medical Center

TCM Tribute

She’s no Amy Grant.

In R14 she bears an uncanny resemblance to my sister. Always liked her, and she has held up remarkably well.

She’s no Grant Fagan (although I heard a rumor she too can suck her own dick).

Lee Grant won an Emmy for playing Stella, the town villain, on Peyton Place

because of that, she was the number one choice of Aaron Spelling to play Alexis on Dynasty. But Lee said no

Here she is playing an "Alexis" type on the mini-series soap "Bare Essence" where she interacts with Linda Evans!

Imagine what they would be like as Alexis and Krystle (instead of Joan Collins)

We never hear about any 93 year olds unless they die, OP.

R49, I am nearing 103, and I’m still in the papers.

yes, OdH at r50. Paper diapers.

But you should really consider cloth diapers, which are more environmentally friendly.

R11 I'd love to see the rest of that ass. It looks promising, that's for sure.

From Defending Your Live. She was good in it.

Oops -- I mean Defending Your Life

It's now a variety show with real lawyers:: "Defending You. Live!"

She was a traiterous Communist just like her comrade-in-arms, Hanoi Jane and those of similar ilk. And her non-performance in Shampoo stole the Oscar from the truly deserving Lily Tomlin in Nashville.

Stinkfish

[italic]Fay[/italic] is notable for having the words "stretch marks" censored out of an episode.

Lee Grant was always one of my favorites! Smart smart smart, political, progressive. I always loved her as an actress to have seen her work from behind the camera has been equally wonderful. She has inspired new generations of women to direct, she and Penny Marshall really revolutionized film making.

I totally would have watched Fay.

It’s crazy to think an actress would claim she’s older than she actually is but are we sure that’s not the case? I have never seen a 90 year old speak and move like that (referring to r6’s video clip).

Miss Joan Hackett supposedly would add a few years to her age so that she'd look great for her "age". I absolutely love that the earrings she wore to the Oscars were Christmas ornaments she re-purposed .

I guess it’s better to look like a 60 yr old lizard than a 93yr old woman..

For starters she was no me.

R61 She's like a young woman wearing an old lady mask.

I’d also heard that Joan Hackett added a few years to her age, R62 — quite an unusual decision, regardless of the reasoning behind it!

She was such a lovely, talented actress.

R62, Deridre Hall also added years to her age...

[quote]She was a traiterous Communist just like her comrade-in-arms, Hanoi Jane and those of similar ilk.

There is nothing worse than being a Trumpster like yourself R56. Nothing.

Here are your daggers, Richard!

Adding years to your age seems so weird, but maybe they did it to start out earlier and seem more mature from the get go? If Lee Grant really is in her 90's, she has to be the healthiest, most active 90-something I've ever seen in my life. The face work is horrifying, but I've seen 20-somethings that are more sluggish than she is.

Jesus, I just saw that interview. Lee Grant is one actress I never expected to do that to her face.

Eva Marie Saint is probably the best looking celebrity that’s 90ish. If she’s had work it’s been minimal. Wouldn’t say Lee looks horrifying but has that obvious plastic surgery look. Still thinks she’s great.

[R72]

You don't think this is horrifying plastic surgery?

Lee's face looks like a burn victim, but damn if she isn't still spry as fuck.

She looked like a spry Elephant Woman.

Dinah!!!

[quote] You don't think this is horrifying plastic surgery?

At 70, yeah. At 90, no.

Cut some slack for Lee. She's in her 90's and like almost all actresses in Hollywood she's had facial plastic surgery. With or without it she's not going to look sparkling young anymore. She look okay for her age and has survived.

Grant admits to having a face lift at like 30.

She always had a thing about her age because she felt like she lost the prime years of an actress' career because of being blacklisted. She bounce back pretty well from the blacklisting and did a number of good films in the 70s.

One of her problems though was she had a husband who was constantly trying to direct and make his own films so she had to take lots of bad movies for because the needed the money.

(Although those bad films are some of the ones on DL that we like the most: Omen 2, Airport 1977, Valley of the Dolls.........and of course The Swarm.)

Regardless of the atrocious facelift, she is very sharp and mobile for a woman in her 90s. I just watched her in the 1982 film Visiting Hours and her facelift looked bad then.

She has always been so melodramatic in many of her roles.

No moment in film is greater than when her corpse floats outside the submerged plane in "Airport 77"

Visiting Hours was pretty fucking scary. I'd forgotten about that movie. I remember jumping out of my seat a few times during that movie. That'd be a good candidate for a remake.

She's no W.T. Grant..

All cats look grey when it's dark

POST A SPOILER ALERT YOU FUCKING QUEEN

Don't worry, R86. That's incorrect anyhow.

Oh my God! How old does that make me?

She's no Shauna Grant, Ulysses Grant, OR Gogi Grant. Her flatulence problem, however, has earned her the nickname "The Wayward Wind."

She might not be a Shauna Grant, Ulysses Grant, or Gogi Grant but I bet she IS a Grant Tinker.

[quote]I thought she was dead.

No, she always smells like that.

I just got done watching the interview she did for the Scream Factory release of "Damien: Omen II" and I am still shocked at how cogent, vital, and "with it" she is at 94 years old. You rarely see that. I've never met someone in their mid-90s who is able-bodied and as mentally unclouded as she is. It's honestly kind of amazing. The wig she wears helps with looking younger obviously, but she could easily pass for a woman in her late 60s or 70s. I saw video footage of her from a couple of years ago where she was walking through LAX by herself, carrying her own bags—flawless posture, and she stopped to talk to the paparazzi for a moment and was as clear-headed as ever.

We have a more recent thread

Just seeing that name again took me back 30 years.

her face in R7 is reminiscent of Helen Mirren's.

I remember when she played the drunken psychic in Mulholland Drive.
