Perhaps in the UK we're better at putting our respected actors/actresses into roles that are appropriate for their age ... Helen Mirren is one that springs to mind, but Maggie Smith, Ian McKellen and others ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-8482112011379451582017-03-28T22:52:00.368-05:002017-03-28T22:52:00.368-05:00This looks like a Spider Man movie I would like to...This looks like a Spider Man movie I would like to see.<br /><br />I always think Sony is shooting itself in its foot.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-54556675751708034122017-03-28T22:03:32.945-05:002017-03-28T22:03:32.945-05:00I, like you, miss the character revealed in the fa...I, like you, miss the character revealed in the face of a person who's lived life fully. I cringe at the bloated, stretched faces of those actors desperate to appear youthful so as to still be hired. Sigh.<br /><br />Laugh lines, eyes deepened by the cost of hard-won wisdom and compassion. I miss those -- again like you.<br /><br />Great to see you again, Inger!Roland D.

It's much harder for people to find a new job as they age. I'm a case in point. Women older than forty are the last group to recover from the unemployment problem we've had in the U.S. I'm fortunate that I can edit books and work on my own, but in spite of my education and experience, I can't find a full-time job. <br /><br />Love,<br />Janie Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-27933555635441780272017-03-28T11:53:41.463-05:002017-03-28T11:53:41.463-05:00I do think it will be a lot of fun.
