Aunt Gloria

About the Job

Female talent, any ethnicity. Late 50s to early 70s, with a remarkably judgemental presence. She should have a distinct, maybe artsy or haute couture appearance. She should carry herself with a bold confidence that only comes from years of silently judging others. Strong disapproving expressions wanted. / Director notes: She's the Bride's Aunt - overdressed by exactly one degree, hat slightly too large, jewelry catching the light from across the venue. Gloria has opinions about everything and has already told three people that her niece could have done better. When the chaos begins, she doesn't flinch. She's seen worse. She takes a sip of her champagne, watches the flower arch collapse, and delivers the kind of look that says "I knew this would happen." Every cut back to her is a pressure release valve.
