[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone remind me how she ended up somewhat blacklisted or not being heavily hired in Hollywood? Was it something to do with Chad Lowe my memory is failing me. [/quote]

Based on her filmography it looks like she’s worked pretty consistently throughout her career. She was never known as a box office draw and wasn’t one to be on the cover of magazines/tabloids. Given Hollywood’s ageism against women, her resume’s not bad at all. [/quote]

I'm with PP. Her filmography does not match that of a two-time winner of the Best Actress Oscar. She's the only one in this generation to have won that award twice and it puts her in some very esteemed company (Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, Vivian Leigh, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, even Meryl Streep (although she got a 3rd Oscar in the Best Supporting category as well)). Hilary Swank won her second Oscar in 2004. Where has she been since then? It looks like she started producing her own films, most of which sound terrible and hover around 20%-40% on Rotten Tomatoes. Her Netflix show was canceled after one season. What gives? [/quote]

Well, she’s not very good looking.  I mean, she’s fine for a mom at school pickup but she’s not Hollywood pretty.  So that cuts her out of like 90% of casting for female roles. Geez, even that psycho killer role went to gorgeous Charlize Theron who had o make herself ugly for it. She may actually do better in middle age or older because there are more “character” actor jobs for older women.  I have a relative that was really unattractive who had good success as a old lady actress because that cast her as that crazy old lady character.  I think she was just happy to work and had fun with it.  There’s lots of roles like that men that are sort of odd looking but really not much for women.  [/quote]
