Lois Smith as Dr. Iris Hineman in "Minority Report".

She absolutely steals this scene from Cruise... she has acting chops and she shows it in her only scene in the movie.



she was good in Twister as well,


did not realize how many roles she has had, until I looked her up in IMDB,

For whatever reason, my mind goes back to movies from my youth...Una Oconnor from "Adventures of Robin Hood", "The Sea Hawk", etc. She was also in a few of the Classic horror movies too.

Alan Hale Sr from the same era.

Various "sidekicks" from old westerns come to mind as well.

Yeah, Woodrow Parfrey. He was in a couple of other Eastwood films- The Outlaw Josey Wales and Bronco Billy. He was in a lot of stuff, most of it TV shows. He had one of those faces.

IIRC, he fought in Europe for the US Army in WWII and was a POW for a time.
