Yesterday

I saw her for the first time in the early 80s in a television play with Christopher Walken called "Who am I This Time?" based on a short story by Kurt Konnegut. She really stood out and I thought "who is she?" and was a fan after that. Now, not so much. I know she has every right to express her opinion, but unfortunately her words caused a great deal of damage, in my opinion.

And I hate to say it, but Hollywood is not kind to older actresses. There are probably a lot of older actresses who find it difficult to find work after the age of 40, regardless of their political views.
