Hats OffMimi Weddell was a sprightly 93-year-old Manhattanite when she became the subject of Jyll Johnstone's terrific documentary.
A long-established model and actor (Weddell's screen credits include cameos in Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo and HBO's Sex and the City) Hats Off is a testament to the vitality of a remarkable woman who defied ageism with verve and panache - and a stylish collection of hats!
As indefatigable as she was charismatic, in 2005, at the age of 90, New York magazine proclaimed Weddell one of the 50 Most Beautiful New Yorkers; a fitting tribute to her zest, vigour and iconic appeal.
Melbourne premiere!
"If you're not tickled and stirred by the sight of her 95-pound frame kicking off sheets and leaping out of bed to answer a phone - a gig, maybe! - then shame on you" Los Angeles Times
