shame


She is so talented and not getting much quality work.

Mom is pretty good though

Sacred Avatar I agree with you- She's hysterical in "Mom"! It isn't a stage production or a feature film but it's fun comedy. (IMDB needs to update her information on the stats for her.)

That's an argument that could be extended to many actresses over 50. Not only are roles harder to come by as you get older, but quality roles are even harder to find.

Since "The West Wing" ended in 2006, she has turned in memorable performances in films like "Juno", "Hairspray" & "The Help" not to mention "Mom" (which has secured her another Emmy win) as well as scoring a Tony nomination for her work in the musical stage version of "9 to 5" proving that she is doing well for herself which is great because she is a talented woman

Unfortunately true of most female actresses, especially past 50. I think it's great that she is working and finding a lot of parts she likes, even small ones in small movies.

And better yet, she's stunning even in small parts. The first time she knocked me on my ass was in American Beauty and she's got 2 lines in a movie packed with big bold parts, and she still makes a mark.
