Look Who’s Talking (1989)
1989 Amy Heckerling comedy with John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. Bruce Willis voices a sarcastic infant narrator.
Olympia Dukakis won Best Supporting Actress for Moonstruck at fifty-six, after roughly thirty years working almost entirely in theatre, where she ran a company in New Jersey with her husband.
Steel Magnolias and Look Who’s Talking followed, and Tales of the City gave her a substantial television role as a transgender landlady, which was unusual casting in 1993. She was the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.
