I agree. A great actress.
Was she the same woman that played the witch lady in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?

She did a great job playing an older character. Her performance is the best part of the movie. She's also very good in The Lady Killers remake.

Had to do a search on her, and could not beleive that she has NO nominations....she was absolutely incredible.
