I seem to remember Moore complaining when she was younger about the range of roles she was offered. Though then as I recall, it was her sexyface holding her back, not her birthdate.
I don't disagree that there is some more narrowing of options for older actresses than there is for older actors. But I think that part of Moore's problem is that she has always been more about promoting her looks than really knocking anyone out with her performances. And I feel like the actresses I see complaining about it-Moore, Meg Ryan-are never particularly strong actors.
It's a bit jarring to see this post right above the post about 'shopping - because the cover makes her look somewhat gaunt. Not as ridiculous as the RL model but not right. #demimoorew
Hmm, let's see - Demi Moore is the same age as Jodie Foster and Jennifer Jason Leigh - two actresses that still seem to work pretty solidly.
Back in the late 80s/early 90s, while Moore was making Indecent Proposal, The Butcher's Wife, Ghost, and Nothing but Trouble, Foster was making The Accused, Silence of the Lambs, Little Man Tate and Shadows and Fog. And JJL was making Single White Female (OK, a bit cheesy, but she was good in it), Short Cuts, The Hudsucker Proxy, Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle, and Dolores Claiborne.#demimoorew
@deeemer: She makes about one film a year, from what I see on IMDB. I remember reading somewhere that she's cut back on work because of her kids. And yeah, I miss her too. #demimoorew
@ElleL: She must have a decaying protrait of herself up in her attic, or a direct line to Satan. She is better looking now than she was 20 years ago! #demimoorew
@cinematheques: That's not about hating mothers, it's about it being a small role, corollary to one of the main characters, who's usually less than a decade younger than them. It's upsetting to them to have to move from starring to supporting roles, while men their age continue to star. #demimoorew
@ElleL: While I agree with you that she's not the best actress, um, what is she replaced with? Those 27-37 year olds aren't exactly prime oscar material either. Megan Fox, anyone? #demimoorew
@deeemer: Oh I completely agree with you. There are a lot of great actresses in there though, like Rachel McAdams, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johanssen, etc etc. #demimoorew
@Hana Maru: I agree. I also think it's possible to acknowledge the truth of what Demi is saying even if one doesn't think she's the best actress ever. Because, anyway, how is it possible for an actress to improve her chops if the roles she's offered tend to all be the same? #demimoorew
I like that she's wearing her hair longer as she ages, in opposition to the usual trend. Maybe the long hair helps her look so young. (Or maybe it's the plastic surgery.) #demimoorew
I know this contraption is supposed to be for long-term planning, but I can't imagine that donning this before beddy-bye would do wonders for immediate sexytimes.
And I can imagine boyf/hubby whining and being peeved as a result.
This reminds me of a post on my friend's facebook. It was a quiz. "How will u look when u are old?"
Answer: eww rinkley
I laughed so, so hard. Isn't "rinkley" what we all look like?
