There was something I read regarding the 5-step career track of actresses in Hollyweird. It is absolutely true.
Step 1: Who is Jane Doe ?
2: Get me Jane Doe.
3: Get me a Jane Doe type.
4: Get me a young Jane Doe.
5: Who is Jane Doe ?
Jen-Jen is reaching Step 4 on her career track.
I think that’s about right. The biological clock is brutal on actresses. The good ones age gracefully into character actors and supporting roles. There are just not a lot of leading roles for 40-something, or more, actresses. And if the snowflakes think that is sexist … let them go write a screenplay and try to sell it. Nobody is stopping them.
