Ellen Burstyn today
Burstyn started her way in theater back in the late fifties. For many actors, performing on Broadway is the peak of their career aspirations, but for Burstyn it was only the beginning. It was during the early seventies that Burstyn finally emerged into Hollywood and the silver screen.
Today, at 87, the actress is still up and about. She has no plans of retiring any time soon, but she’s gone on to a new challenge in the past years – standing behind the camera and directing. Her latest performance, in Lucy in the Sky (2014), wasn’t a critical success, but Burstyn is looking forward to new projects.
