Being second generation in Hollywood is complicated: Success is expected, and yet the track record of the second generation is not great. Only a small group of us, like Jane Fonda, have succeeded.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
There are not a lot of sons or daughters of actors who have made it. Hollywood is awash with failures.
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.
I knew that in Hollywood they tend to pigeonhole talent, and when you experience a little success in one genre, their instinct is to keep you in that box.
There is not that much of a generation gap these days.
Everyone in Hollywood who is successful becomes less successful at some point. I'm just trying to delay that fall for as long as I can.
Hollywood's full of transients. Everybody comes from somewhere else.
After a point, it doesn't matter where you come from. There are many star kids who haven't done well in the industry and rank newcomers who have done amazingly well.
No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace.
The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.
