“It’s hard when you have a small role, 20 lines, to establish a character,” she said, referring to her part as Mom, who is Benjamin Braddock’s neurotic mother in the comedy that playwright Terry Johnson based on a 1963 novella by Charles Webb as well as Calder Willingham and Buck Henry’s screenplay for the classic 1967 movie.
