The beloved Hollywood star is playing the title role in the new movie, "Thelma."

"Thelma" is inspired by the true story of writer-director Josh Margolin's grandmother. Squibb enjoyed the action scenes, especially when she got to ride around on a scooter. Luckily, it was all done safely."We shot in my grandma's real condo. So, all those scenes in her space are actually her space," said Margolin. "There were a lot of reasons why it felt like we really had to shoot it here. And, you know, it, at its core, kind of is an L.A. story.

"I think everyone that made this movie felt that they needed to make this movie. They needed to be a part of it," said Hechinger. "And so we just had this group that we kept building on, you know, from the entire crew to the entire cast that had a real deep connection to it and a kind of personal reason that they wanted to make this story."
