I am sympathetic to your struggles. I lucked out when I changed from one publishing job to a better one.
Unfortunately, I had the sad experience of looking for my own replacement. Went through nearly 200 resumes. So many were overqualified--and hadn't found work in a while.
The market bears, what the market bears. The same goes for Hollywood. There are many actresses who managed to do well with middle aged parts, and there is an aging moving-going, video rental demographic. These women complaining are talented, pretty and can find suitable parts.
Or they can do what Ida Lupino, and several other actresses dissatisfied with the process have done in movie history--make their own *&%^$ films! Winger, for instance, I thought was of a stronger mettle. After all, she is an IDF vet!
Holly Hunter is smart enough to direct her own features. But, whatever, 'tis easier to complain than to do.
