“The thing that I've run up against is that it's always been an either-or proposition, especially in Hollywood. You're either young and glamorous and you're going to get the lead and get the man at the end of the picture, or it's the opposite: you're a character actress, you're not attractive enough for the other role, and so you're playing the friend or the killer or the lesbian or the doctor or whatever.” MenEndsEnoughCharacterRunningYoungRolesHe ManDoctorsHollywoodOppositesActressesAttractiveKillersPropositionsGlamorousEither Or Author:Kathy Bates
“Because I'm a woman, because I'm a character actress, because I'm over 40, I'll be very interested to see, not just for me but for other actresses, how Hollywood treats us in the next ten, fifteen years. I'm hoping that it's not going to be so easy to shove people under the rug, as they have in the past.” PeopleYearsCharacterPastNextEasyTenHollywoodTreatsActressesFifteenFifteen Years Author:Kathy Bates
