Were women meant to do everything - work and have babies?

Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.

I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.

It's not just in Hollywood that women run the risk of being passed by once they reach 50. It happens in real life, too.

I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.
