      TomTopol, Miss Lillian. <3

      She was definitely one of the greats, and this quote from her at idmb dot com is very perceptive:

      *snip*

      Lionel Barrymore first played my grandfather, later my father, and finally, he played my husband. If he'd lived, I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.
