“Olympia Dukakis Was an Amazing, Academy Award Winning Actress,” the singer tweeted.
Then, Cher lamented, “I Talked To Her 3 Wks Ago.

Cher played Loretta Castorini, while Dukakis played her mother, Rose.
“She Said ‘She might Not HEAR or SPEAK.’

‘CAUSE WHEN YOU LOVE THEM THEY DRIVE YOU CRAZY, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN.'”
