Overview... not your typical 79-year-old woman. The lively Maude loves attending funerals as much as Harold, a young man obsessed with death. Maude’s lively attitude attracts Harold and he soon falls in love with her carefree spirit and off-the-cuff take on life – their drastic age difference be damned.
Personality… vivid, impulsive, and ever-changing. Maude loves to “do something new every day.” She acts like a young woman while still retaining the wisdom of age. She understands that life is what you make it, and she has chosen to make it everything that it can possibly be, up until the day she dies.
Get to Know her in...
