Family issues and a failing career would be enough to consume most young actresses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
I didn't have the safety net that a lot of young actresses have. A lot of young girls have their families around to support them and help choose wisely.
Child actors going on to become adult actors never really works, apart from a few. Jodie Foster was the exception.
No amount of skill on the part of the actress can make up for the loss of youth.
Every actress has to face the facts there are younger, more beautiful girls right behind you. Once you've gone beyond the vanity of the business, you'll take on the tough roles.
The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.
The fact of the matter is that we're all aging, and there's this stigma that older actresses don't work as much as younger actresses, and I don't think that's true anymore.
So many Hollywood actresses become successful and then just keep on going - they miss out on having a partner and a baby and end up lonely.
There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people.
