What with the quirky sense of humor and the mail stealing and using other people's bathrooms just to get to know them etc.
I may be love's bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it. -Spike

Oh absolutely! only Ann-Margaret was only FIFTY ONE when this was made to say she was a "grandma" is biologically possible but pretty lame.
She was young enough (easily) to be Matthau's DAUGHTER..

Yeah, she's definitely an MPDG, but she isn't nearly the oldest one in the movies: that would have to be Ruth Gordon in
Harold and Maude
, a strange cult film from 1971 about a romance between a young man and an elderly woman (who's supposed to be 79 in the film; Gordon, I think, was around 75 at the time).
