Lena Dunham may quit acting; rails against women getting typecast

Perhaps we'll be seeing less of Lena Dunham on screen in the future: The "Girls" talent says she might consider quitting acting to focus on some of her other work.

But don't worry, she's not going far.

"I don't know if I'm going to want to act anymore. I'm always relieved on the days I don't have to. I'd rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts," the Golden Globe-winning 27-year-old said in the April issue of Glamour, which hits newsstands March 18.

Appearing in the critically acclaimed HBO series about four 20-something women growing up in New York isn't the only thing on her plate. She created, writes and directs the series, which aired its Season 3 finale on Sunday. The frequently nude actress is also dating fun. musician Jack Antonoff, who has given her perspective on her career and, she said, came into her life during a major turning point.

No clue who she is. But more importantly, would Laz hit it?

If you want to be typecast as a starlet, you must look like one. RME

A good decision if ever there was one.

“The guy she is dating: “

I thought that was Rachel Maddow.

Typecast?

WHat, like females can only do female roles?!?

She just did EVE on SNL (poorly and bitchily). How can you not be more typecast doing EVE?

Sheesh. You’d think they’d be happy to have work doing ANYTHING. You’d think a talentless average looking not great actress like her would be happy just to be working.

Sorry you can’t agree with the muslims.

Just opt for Body Condom. It’s probably safer for all of us.

Judging by the pic she's got lots to spare.

Oddly enough, talented people don’t really worry about that. For instance, Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock, and Helen Mirren aren’t typecast. The only difference is they are talented and also aren’t incredibly fugly.

considering someone else here pointed out she writes her own character on the show she apparently has on cable, somewhere,

i find the whole objection about typecasting being quite - self-immolating? I wonder when she’ll begin to start cutting herself. She may need to be put on suicide watch.
