June Squibb, at 94, will soon be seen in her first leading role in the action comedy film Thelma. In it, she plays a widow who seeks revenge after being scammed. June embraces the action-packed role with enthusiasm, performing many of her own stunts. As someone who has built a career on memorable supporting roles, June finds this new chapter invigorating. She attributes her increased workload to a growing interest in aging and the stories of older individuals. 

A nonagenarian, June maintains excellent health and an active lifestyle, noting that her physicality and energy levels allow her to keep up with demanding roles. She lives independently in Los Angeles, supported by her son and a dedicated assistant, which enables her to continue working without limitations.

Big Picture

Reviewers say that Thelma not only showcases June’s talent but also addresses big picture societal issues, including ageism. June finds this aspect of the film particularly meaningful, reflecting on how her character’s experiences resonate with her own thoughts about aging and independence. She acknowledges the reality of aging, such as dealing with tiredness, but remains committed to her craft.

June’s career longevity and late-blooming success are proof that you never know what’s around the next corner in life. She is not considering retirement anytime soon, as she continues to receive and accept exciting roles. As a matter of fact, June just wrapped another leading role in Eleanor the Great, about a 90-year-old who, after decades living in Florida, moves back to New York. It is directed by Scarlett Johansson.

Better With Age

If you’ve been thinking that you’re too old for something, anything, forget it. There are many things in life that get better with age, and they are worth waiting for. June’s career in acting is living proof. To find out the details of June June’s healthy longevity in life and Hollywood, keep reading.
