The 'Aunt May' of an entire generation turns 99 today! 🎉🎂 For millions of Spider-Man fans, Rosemary Harris will forever be Aunt May, the warm, resilient heart of Sam Raimi’s trilogy. Her quiet scenes with Peter Parker gave the superhero films some of their most human moments, making her version of May beloved long after the trilogy ended. But Harris was already a celebrated actress decades before entering Peter Parker’s world. Her career stretches back to the 1950s, with a Tony-winning stage legacy, acclaimed television work, and an Academy Award-nominated performance in Tom & Viv. Some of her memorable roles include: May Parker / Aunt May (Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 / Spider-Man 3) Rose Haigh-Wood (Tom & Viv) Berta Palitz Weiss (Holocaust) George Sand (Notorious Woman) Pauline Swift (Crossing Delancey) Minerva Chisholm (The Chisholms) Mrs. Ramsay (To the Lighthouse) Valerie Sors (Sunshine) Player Queen (Hamlet) Annie’s Granny (The Gift) Nana Foster (This Means War) Happy 99th birthday, Rosemary Harris! Aunt May introduced her to a whole new generation, but behind that beloved performance stands one of the remarkable long careers of stage and screen, spanning more than seven decades. 🎂❤️
