just was sort of this thing that wasn’t going anywhere,’ she said. ‘Then there were these people who would give me these cute little jobs and it would just be enough to get to the next one.’
Thanking the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Murphy and American Pie producers the Weiss Brothers, Jennifer thanked them for keeping her acting career afloat while she held onto the dream of a standout role. ‘I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life and whatever,’ she went on. ‘I thought I was going to be Queen of Monaco even though someone else did it. But I had these giant ideas. And then you get older and, oh, shit’s going to happen. And, Mike White, you have given me hope. You’ve given me a new beginning.
At 61 – yes, really – Jennifer is hardly waiting at death’s door, but in an industry famous for sexism and ageism, a role like Tanya may not have even existed not too long ago. Here’s to writing scene-stealing, award-winning parts for kick-ass older actresses, and to making dreams come for those who’ve been working hard all their lives and really, really deserve it.
