After 30 Years in Film and TV, It’s Bonnie Rose’s Turn as She Wins Her First Best Actress Award for Living With Grandma
With 30 years of credits to her name in film and television, Queens, New York born-and-bred Bonnie Rose has just won her first ever award as Best Actress at the 2025 World Film Festival in Cannes, France, for her role in Finise Avery’s short film Living with Grandma. And to top that off, she has since then won her second ever award for Best Actress in the same film at the 2025 Oniros Film Awards. According to a review of Living with Grandma on LookIndie.com, “The performances shine, particularly that of the actress [Bonnie Rose] playing Grandma Rose, whose timing, expression, and sheer screen presence make her unforgettable.”
Working non-stop this past year, the veteran actress has much more on the horizon. She appears opposite Rose Byrne and Oscar® winners Octavia Spencer and Ariana DeBose in Stephanie Laing’s feature film Tow, which made its World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival on June 7. She also co-stars in Joe Picozzi’s short film My Kind of People, winner of the 2024 Russo Brothers Italian American Filmmaker Forum, which will make its World Premiere at Dances With Films Festival in Los Angeles on June 24. And New Yorkers will get a chance to see Rose in her award-winning performance in Living With Grandma at the Roosevelt Island Film Festival on June 28.
“What a whirlwind this past year has been, and winning my first award as best actress is the cherry on top of that, so surreal!” said Bonnie Rose. “I am so fortunate to have worked with such amazing and talented filmmakers as Finise Avery, Stephanie Laing and Joe Picozzi, all of whom I hope to work with again.”
An alum of Syracuse University’s Drama Department, Rose started her professional career as a stand-in for Bette Midler on First Wives Club. Next up, the iconic and legendary film director, Sidney Lumet handpicked her for the feature film Night Falls On Manhattan playing a New York City cop opposite Andy Garcia.
