While Anne survives until the final scene (the dessert course), she dies in the lost-nuance

#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film The Menu (2022), who was the oldest cast member at time of filming, how old were they, and what was their role?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In the 2022 film The Menu, the oldest cast member at the time of filming was Judith Light.

Specific Details:

Cast Member: Judith Light
Birth Date: February 9, 1949
Age at Time of Filming: Principal photography for The Menu began on September 3, 2021, in Savannah, Georgia. At that time, Judith Light was 72 years old.
Role: She played Anne Liebbrandt, one of the twelve exclusive guests at the Hawthorne restaurant. Anne is a wealthy "regular" diner who visits the island with her husband, Richard (played by Reed Birney).

Context and Comparison:

While her character is part of a duo of older, wealthy patrons, Judith Light was the senior member of the primary ensemble. Other older cast members included Reed Birney (born September 11, 1954), who was 66 years old when filming began, and Rebecca Koon (born December 3, 1954), who played Chef Slowik's mother, Linda, and was also 66 years old at the start of production.

In her role as Anne, Light portrays a silent, stoic woman whose outward refinement masks the crumbling nature of her marriage and her complicity in the restaurant’s toxic cycle of elite consumption. Despite being the oldest actress on set, her character survives significantly longer than many younger counterparts due to the specific structure of Chef Slowik's "menu."
