Veteran actress June Squibb has given high praise to Scarlett Johansson for her directorial debut, the film ‘Eleanor the Great’.
Squibb, 95, who plays the film’s titular character, Eleanor, spoke warmly about Johansson’s directorial talents in a new chat with Us Weekly.
“She’s a wonderful director,” Squibb said.
“There was an ease to the way she worked, and I think she’s had so many years in films that even directing for the first time was not a hassle for her. I learned that from her.”
Johansson’s Comments
Johansson, who made her directorial debut with the film, also shared her admiration for Squibb.
“I’ve been working since I was 8 years old. I mean, June also has been working since she was probably 17, so if I work as long as she has, it would be about the same amount of time,” Johansson told the outlet.
“It’s hard to envision what that could be. But I’ve had such amazing creative partnerships.”
