Check out Martha Scott’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
I remember Martha Scott played old women in a few films when she was in her 20’s like Cheers for Miss Bishop and In Old Oklahoma, possibly also The Howards of Virginia (sagas or epic stories told over a number of years).
Martha Scott never was on the Oracle list. These are the actors on the 2020 list she appeared with.
