An excited reader wrote today to say he sat in front of Academy Award-winning actress Olympia Dukakis this morning at the Weston Road Cafe in Wellesley. There was no mistaking the “Moonstruck” star, reader JM wrote: “I’ve seen Moonstruck like 100 times… it was my grandmother’s favorite movie!”
Dukakis, who was born in Lowell and went to school in Arlington and later at Boston University, was likely in the area for a somber reason. Her cousin, Arthur Dukakis of Wellesley, passed away earlier this month and services were held this week in Weston.
