Celia Weston, a sensational character actress born and raised in South Carolina, has played many a tough Southern gal despite her theater training in both London and New York. Working both on and off Broadway in the '70s, she moved over to television as the snappy Mel's Diner waitress Jolene Hunnicut on the CBS sitcom “Alice.” After that, she appeared in Southern-tinged feature films like HONKY TONK FREEWAY and STARS AND BARS. Also adept at playing matronly types, she played the mother of Beastie Boy Adam Horowitz in LOST ANGELS, the mother of one of the victims in Dead Man Walking, and the supposed mother of Ben Stiller in FLIRTING WITH DISASTER.
Back on the stage in 1997, she earned a Tony nomination for her role as Southern Jew Reba Freitag in Alfred Uhry's Last Night at Ballyhoo and returned to Broadway in 2000 as Mom in the revival of Sam shepard’s True West. She made a comeback to films as well with supporting roles in Ride With the Devil, THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, and SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS. In 2001, she played a Southern belle mental patient in K-PAX followed by the gossip-hound Mona in FAR FROM HEAVEN, the Fowler's family friend in IN THE BEDROOM, and the guardian of teenaged Bruce Banner in THE HULK. In 2003 she was back to the small screen as a cast member on the Showtime original series Out of Order.
