Biography (TMDB):	Ellen Burstyn (born Edna Rae Gillooly; December 7, 1932) is an American actress. Known for her portrayal of complicated women in dramas, Burstyn was the recipient of various accolades, and was among the few performers to have won an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony (Triple Crown of Acting). Born in Detroit, Michigan, Burstyn left school and worked as a dancer and model. She made her stage debut on Broadway in 1957 and soon started to make appearances in television shows. Stardom followed several years later with her acclaimed role in The Last Picture Show (1971), which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her next appearance in The Exorcist (1973), earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. The film has remained popular and several publications have regarded it as one of the greatest horror films of all time. She followed this with Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. She appeared in numerous television films and gained further recognition from her performances in Same Time, Next Year (1978), which won her a Golden Globe Award, and Resurrection (1980), How to Make an American Quilt (1995), and Requiem For a Dream (2000). For playing a lonely drug-addicted woman in the last one of these, she was again nominated for an Academy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In the 2010s, she made appearances in television series including the political dramas, Political Animals and House of Cards, which have earned her Emmy Award nominations. From 2000 till her death, she had been co-president of the Actors Studio, a drama school in New York City. In 2013, she was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame for her work on stage.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

[Burstyn] a few scenes, nothing clear

Deceiver

[Zellweger] Two pretty good drags on a cigarette near the beginning

This was the only decent offering of a very bad month. Alfre Woodard stars, with several outstanding long drags and slow exhales; there are a couple of other decent shots from others in this flick, including Winona Ryder, but Alfre is clearly the standout.

Mrs. Harris

smokingsides
Burstyn holds once. Background characters hold at parties, ND. Two teenage girls hold joints, ND. Too bad there's so little smoking for a movie set in the 60s and with Bening, Sevigny, Brett Butler, Frances Fisher in the cast.

Pit Stop

smokingsides
This film was actually produced in 1967, when Ellen was listed as Ellen McRae. She holds in one scene and takes two drags with decent exhales. Looks IRL.

The Exorcist

smokingsides
Burstyn plays with an unlit cig while lying in bed early in the movie. Her only real smoking scene is outdoors, at her first meeting with the priest. He offers her an unfiltered, lights it and she takes a couple of drags, picking tobacco from her tongue in between.
