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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're a sexy actress, it's hard to get serious roles. You get offered the same thing they've seen you in. People are like sheep, and they're like, 'Oh, that's what she does well.'
I was always a character actress, even when I was an ingenue. But as you age, people know what to do with you, and you're not quite as dependent on maintaining leading-lady beauty.
People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb.
It helps if you don't date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?
Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
I feel I've made the transition from model to actress, but I'm not that secure about it. Lauren Hutton, Jennifer O'Neill - we all know that a few films don't mean all that much.
There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.
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.
