What The Cast Of My Big Fat Greek Wedding Is Doing Today

Mrs. White was the Portokalos family's cranky neighbor, who had to contend with Toula's grandmother hurling random xenophobic insults her way. Jayne Eastwood played White with disgruntled, crinkled-nose aplomb. An acting veteran, Eastwood has nearly 300 credits to her name. Stephen King devotees will recognize her from the supernatural series "Haven," in which she starred as Gloria from 2013 to 2015. She's also a voice actor, having lent her cadence to "Inspector Gadget" and "Hotel Transylvania," both in 2018, and more recently, 2023's "Heroes of the Golden Mask."

Always one keen to change with the times, she recently found herself enjoying online success thanks to the 2020 expletive-laden web series "Hey Lady!" She starred as the titular Lady, an elderly woman who wakes up everyday and chooses chaos. It marked the first time that Eastwood, then aged 73, had ever landed a starring role. Subsequently, she was living for her newfound main character energy. "I've never been number one on the call sheet in the 50 years I've been in the business," she told CBC. "And it was really fun, I must say."

In an interview with YouAreUNLTD, she revealed that the age-positive role resonated with her as a septuagenarian. "Actors don't retire, right? We just don't," she said, adding, "I don't think artists get old. I've never met an artist who acted old. I think we're pretty useful... I think we're all maybe old on the outside, but not on the inside."
