  • Boy Band Inspires Fans but the Lure of the Theater Eventually Led Her to Study Drama at Boston University
    ARAB TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 3, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Obits Author Matthews dead Oscar-winning actress Dukakis dies aged 89 MAPLEWOOD, NJ, May 2, (AP): Olympia Duka- kis, the veteran stage and screen actor whose fl air for maternal roles helped her win an Oscar as Cher’s mother in the romantic comedy “Moonstruck,” has died. She was 89. Dukakis died Saturday morning in her home in New York City, according to Allison Levy, her agent at In- novative Artists. A cause of death was not immedi- ately released, but her family said in a statement that she had been in failing health for months. Dukakis won her Oscar through a surprising chain of circumstances, beginning with author Nora Ephron’s recommendation that she play Meryl Streep’s mother in the fi lm version of Ephron’s book “Heartburn.” Du- kakis got the role, but her scenes were cut from the fi lm. To make it up to her, director Mike Nichols cast her in his hit play “Social Se- curity.” Director Norman Jew- ison saw her in that role and cast her in “Moonstruck.” Dukakis won the Oscar for best supporting actress and Cher took home the trophy for best actress. She referred to her 1988 win as “the year of the Dukakii” because it was also the year Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis Dukakis, her cousin, was the Democratic Party’s presiden- tial nominee. At the ceremony, she held her Oscar high over her head and called out: “OK, Michael, let’s go!” Members of the Chinese music group Produce Pandas, (from left), Husky, Otter, Mr 17, Cass, and DING strike a pose while practicing dance choreography dur- In 1989, her Oscar statuette was stolen from Duka- ing rehearsals in Beijing, April 15, 2021.
