Rowlands celebrates 6 decades in film with honorary Oscar
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gena Rowlands has been an actress for more than 60 years, and on Saturday, she'll accept her first Academy Award.
The 85-year-old entertainer, who was twice nominated for the best actress Oscar, will receive an honorary statuette at the film academy's seventh annual Governors Awards.
Rowlands spoke by phone with The Associated Press to answer six questions about her career.
A lot of people have disappeared from Earth that you've worked with, and they make me sort of sad once in a while, and there's really no necessity for me to watch them.
[...] it's very technical and they're aiming at very young people, and they have "Ant Man" and Mars and zombies and things, and they seem to do very well.
Rowlands: I think it was when I worked with Bette Davis, who is my all-time favorite actress.
After watching the scenes they'd shot the day before, Davis asked her if she thought the color was off — Did her lips look orange?
