In <em>Two For The Dough<\/em> her real name is Edna. She lives in Stephanie&#8217;s parents&#8217; house ever since her husband died of heart failure. In <em>Lean Mean Thirteen <\/em>Grandma Mazur uses his real name: Harry.<\/p>\n<p>She is a woman unwilling to grow old, ever. Stephanie relates to Grandma Mazur more than any other member of her family. Beginning in <em>Two For the Dough<\/em>, Grandma Mazur begins to tag along on cases with Stephanie, often pulling a gun out of her purse at inappropriate moments. Grandma Mazur also frequents the local funeral parlors because they are the social center of the neighborhood. She sometimes peeks underneath the casket lid to see the dead body, causing hysteria in the parlor.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma Mazur is also the official owner of Big Blue, a &#8217;53 powder blue Buick that men love and women hate. The car is virtually indestructible, and Grandma Mazur got it from Stephanie&#8217;s Uncle Sandor. She moved in with Stephanie for a short periods of time during &#8220;Hot Six&#8221;. She also occasionally watches pay-per-view porn, on account that &#8220;The Weather Channel doesn&#8217;t have enough action&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ok, if you read that and have never read the books I suppose you\u2019d think that Debbie Reynolds would be just as capable of playing this role as anyone.\u00a0 If you have read the books though, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be with me on this one.\u00a0 Grandma Mazur is old.\u00a0 Like OLDER THAN DIRT kind of old.\u00a0 The mental image you are given of her is that she is small and somewhat frail physically, a tiny little wrinkled crazy woman.<\/p>\n<p>Debbie Reynolds is getting up there, sure,\u00a0 but she\u2019s not that kind of old yet, and she just doesn\u2019t have it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what IT is but it\u2019s that thing that makes you think <em>OMG, She would be the perfect Grandma Mazur!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sort of like you\u2019d have with this lady\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/yetta.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" title=\"yetta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/yetta_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"yetta\" width=\"434\" height=\"657\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now <em>that<\/em> is a crazy ol\u2019 grandma!\u00a0 She was quite possibly the only good thing about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0106080\/\" target=\"_blank\">that show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not forget <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/archives\/1913\" target=\"_blank\">my first choice<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/mazur21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" title=\"mazur2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/mazur2_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"mazur2\" width=\"570\" height=\"379\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rappin\u2019 Granny in the hizzouuuuuse!!\u00a0 I always thought <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ellen_Albertini_Dow\" target=\"_blank\">Ellen Albertini Dow<\/a> would make a great Grandma Mazur.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know, maybe I\u2019m wrong.\u00a0 They can do a lot with makeup nowadays and she is a good actress.\u00a0 Perhaps with the right clothes, the right script, the right acting and the right director she just might be able to make us believe she is Grandma Mazur.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot of things to have to get right though and they do, because I\u2019m not convinced <em>she<\/em> is right.<\/p>\n<p>The casting is starting to worry me a bit.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think they made the right choice <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/archives\/4310\" target=\"_blank\">for Morelli<\/a> and now this\u2026 I\u2019m happy with the rest of the cast but these are important roles that if not done properly could ruin the movies for a lot of people who truly love the books.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?\u00a0 When you heard about the movie and imagined who would be cast as Grandma Mazur, how far down your mental list was she?<\/p>\n<p>All I know is, she wasn\u2019t even ON mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the casting we\u2019ve all been waiting for, the part that could either make or break this film, and well what can I say other than&#8230;
