Ellen Burstyn, who starred in the 2003 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “Brush With Fate” alongside Glenn Close, drew quite a bit of attention while attending the event at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Burstyn, 92, joined others connected to the 2000 movie “Requiem for a Dream” at the festival for a panel honoring the anniversary of the film’s release. The panel took place on June 10 at the SVA Theater in New York City, noted WWD.

“She should have won the Oscar that year,” suggested another.
“Legend,” added someone else, and another TikTok user concurred. “Amazing actress!!!”

Another TikTok user wrote, “Best movie of the 90’s…Julia Roberts won [the Oscar] that year but Ellen Burstyn should’ve.”
