Moonstruck is one of my all-time favorites; one of those films I saw in a theatre and immediately afterwards knew that I'd be watching it over and over for years to come. Ms. Dukakis' performance is one of those cases in which you have to keep your eyes on her in every scene she's in or you might miss something--I love the way she acts when Nicolas
Cage's character shows up at the house and her response is with her words, her tone of voice, her facial expression, and the quick pinch she delivers to her daughter. That brief exchange alone is prize-winning.
I also love the scene in Steel Magnolias when a distraught Sally Field cries that she's so angry and upset that she just wants to hit something. Dukakis eagerly volunteers
Shirley MacLaine to be the target. (I'm sure a lot of the audience would agree that this was a good choice).
Happy Birthday, Olympia Dukakis!
