who plays the old lady waitress?


At the diner? She has the heavy drawl and the 2-packs a day for 45 years smoking voice.. Looked and definitely sounded familiar. I swear I remember her from something else but I don't see her listed in the cast credits... Anyone?

I could have sworn that she sounded like Park Overall, but she is not credited. Park Overall played in the TV Show Reba.

Kay Epperson. She's been in a lot of movies. She played one of the townspeople in Bernie.

She's a retired hairdresser. She was one of the locals recruited to be in Bernie. Since then she has become an actress. She was in Joe with Nicholas Cage and Everyone Wants Some.

Casting directors like her a cigarette pack a day voice and down home manner.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

A lot of people in Bernie were like that. That was part of the vision. There's been an underlying authenticity vibe with movie-makers who cast unknowns for exactly that reason... to mixed success.

I'm not a know-it-all, but I play one on TV.
