If you have never seen "Mr. Holland's Opus" I would recommend it. I didn't agree with her politics, but I thought some of the parts she played were excellent.

Olympia Dukakis, Oscar winner for ‘Moonstruck,’ dead at 89
Olympia Dukakis, Hollywood’s favorite late bloomer who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in “Moonstruck” — has died at the age of 89.
Dukakis, a cousin of former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, died Saturday at her home in New York City where she had lived for most of her adult life.
Her brother, Apollo Dukakis, wrote on Facebook, “After many months of failing health she is finally at peace and with her [husband] Louis.”
In addition to her scene-stealing turn as Cher’s sardonic Brooklyn mom, Rose Castorini, in 1987’s “Moonstruck,” Dukakis was known for her roles in “Steel Magnolias,” “Look Who’s Talking” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus” among many other films. Both she and Cher won Oscars for “Moonstruck.”
