Cousin of goofy former democrat presidential candidate Michael Dukakis. Typical of rich successful elite celebs she had a social axe to grind. Apparently her biography contains a whining account of being discriminated against because she was Greek. Who discriminates against Greeks?

Same people that have discriminated against Russians, Polish and so on... It actually happens or did happen but it is rare today...

So sad, what am I ever going to do now

One of my absolute favorites.

Ouiser could never stay mad at me; she worships the quicksand I walk on.

 

[Rambunctious]

She got some great rolls in films...

[HenryBHough]

Sad woman whose husband would have befriended anyone who raped her as he himself put forth in his abortive (how appropriate!) run for national office.

RIP Olympia.

SM was technically one of the finest movies made.

Olympia was great, and she always ignored losers who criticized her.

They were cousins, not husband and wife. Also, this isn’t the thread for that.

She was also Principal Jacobs in the 1996 Richard Dreyfus film "Mr. Holland's Opus".
