From David Lean’s “Doctor Zhivago” in 1965 to films by Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese and an impressive roster of international films–including the acclaimed Dominican production “Sand Dollars” in 2014, the actress remains very active.
Now she’s in town to be honored by the Chicago International Film Festival, which begins Thursday and continues through Oct. 27.
