Happy 99th Birthday to Oscar Winner and Hollywood Survivor Lee Grant: She’ll Be On TCM Tomorrow Night, Of Course

Share

Lee Grant is 99 today! Happy Birthday to the ultimate Hollywood survivor!

Tomorrow night, after midnight, Lee will be interviewed by Ben Mankiewicz on TCM about Barbara Kopple’s award winning documentary, “Harlan County USA.” Look at her in that picture. It’s like she stopped aging about 20 years ago. Remarkable.

Four years ago I saluted Lee on her 95th birthday. She’s a role model for everyone. She’s been through everything and has come out on top. Long may she flourish!
