Veteran actress Carol Kane is generating Oscar buzz for her role in the comedy 'Between the Temples,' potentially breaking the record for the longest gap between nominations.
Carol Kane has a chance to make history. Oscar history, anyway. If she earns a nomination for her role as 70-year-old bat mitzvah student Carla Kessler in the odd-couple comedy “Between the Temples,” she will break the record held by Judd Hirsch for the longest gap between acting Oscar noms. Kane, last Oscar-nominated 49 years ago for Joan Micklin Silver’s immigrant drama “Hester Street,” would top Hirsch's record by seven years.
(Hirsch’s nominations spanned 42 years, from 1981 for “Ordinary People” to 2023 for “The Fabelmans.”) Kane stars in the film opposite Jason Schwartzman, who plays Ben, a depressed cantor who befriends Carla, his childhood music teacher, as he prepares her for her bat mitzvah. In an interview during a recent visit to Los Angeles, the veteran actor says her performance “is totally dependent on Jason. We were like one in some way.” The warm and generous Kane further enthused about writer-director Nathan Silver and his unusual process. Congrats on all the love you’ve been receiving for the film. How did it feel when you heard about the New York Film Critics and Spirit Award kudos? I found it extraordinary. I just can’t sort of fathom how it’s happened, and I’m very grateful. It’s still just sort of unreal. Were you and Jason the filmmaker’s dream choices to play Carla and Ben? Yes. Though there was just what Nathan calls a “scriptment,” a sort of combo of a treatment and a script. It’s very unusual, nothing I had ever seen before. Did that give you pause about signing on to the project? Oh, God, yes. The writing is, to me, the most pivotal element. He said we would have a script before we started shooting. But then he had to explain to me, a couple of days before , that there wasn’t going to be one. He couldn’t do it, that’s not his method. So then you agreed to the film based on the character and the story? First of all, I signed on based on Jason. I have always been mesmerized by his work
