53. I watched it again recently in honor of Bud Cort

Tue Mar 24, 2026, 02:32 AM

Tuesday

when he passed he was 77 so he didn't make it to 80 like Maude, although in real life Ruth Gordon was 75 when she made this movie. And Vivian Pickles, who played Harold's mum. is still going strong at age 94

edited to add that Cat (Yusuf now), born the same year as Bud (and with Harold in one of those funeral scenes) is still entertaining!
