‘Thelma’ Star June Squibb on Being Called ‘The Dirtiest Mouth on Broadway’
June Squibb turned 95 this year and tribute was paid to her by peers from Alexander Payne to Chris Colfer - who jokingly designed "Junerassic Park."
With one line about her husband’s genitalia, she walked away with the raucous comedy “In & Out.” She came to film late, at age 61 in Woody Allen’s 1990 pic “Alice.” But that was after a long career in theater that included performances on cruise ships, modeling for romance novels and touring the musical “Gypsy” with Ethel Merman. Squibb has never slowed down; in addition to “Thelma,” she released two movies in 2024 — “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” and the smash hit “Inside Out 2,” in which she appeared as the voice of Nostalgia — complete with rose-colored glasses. “She understands life.” Margolin, who put together that birthday tribute video with help from Squibb’s assistant Kelly Sweeney and “Thelma” producers Worth and Chris Kaye, reveals that the highest praise came from her real-life counterpart.
