Performance of the Day


Actor: ANDREA MARTIN
Film: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
Character: Aunt Voula
Year: 2002



I'm sure you've already seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and if you have, you know that Andrea Martin is one of the reasons the film is so lovable. She costars as Aunt Voula, an over-bearing, straight-to-the-point proud Greek woman. Martin, a comedian, is perfect in the role and plays off of Lainie Kazan's Maria very well.

13 Best Wedding-Themed Films

1) MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING

Director: Joel Zwick
Actors: Nia Vardolas, John Corbett, Lainie Kazan,
Michael Constantine, Andrea Martin, Louis Mandylor, Gia Carides
Year: 2002

Nia Vardolas based this film on her play (of the same name) and also on her real life (she is married to "Cougar Town" Latino actor Ian Gomez). The laughs come a mile a minute in this hilarious portrayal of a Greek-American family planning a wedding for the daughter they had all assumed would be an old maid. Andrea Martin is phenomenal as Aunt Voula. "You don't eat no meat? That's alright, I make lamb."
