It does seem painful to note that Sally is right--unless you're Meryl Streep, if you're a woman who is 60 and older, Hollywood usually considers you ripe for The Home.

I would also point out, vis-à-vis what she said about kissing Paul Newman in ABSENCE OF MALICE, that Sally's first big-screen role of any kind was in the 1967 Western opus THE WAY WEST, alongside some heavy hitters (to wit, Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, and Richard Widmark).

"I don't think of myself as a star. I didn't set out to become a star, I set out to become a singer. I would have sung no matter what. The star part is just something that they made up in Hollywood in 1930." - Linda Ronstadt

I hope for Sally that it will be a hit.
