They didnt say anything about the script. Was the actor protraying a high school teacher or a priest?

Think there's more to this story...

Meg Ryan was pumping out high-quality rom-coms throughout her 30s. Kate & Leopold came out when she was 40-ish. You've Got Mail when she was 37-ish. Take off a year or two for post-production.

How is this news? I'm sure she would get turned down of the role of "house slave number 3" as well. And this time for being too white! The fucking role wasn't likely written for a 37 year old. So, she was too fucking old.
Uh, this. The fact that this is "news" is stupid as all fuck but it's not surprising I guess.

Btw I'd hit Maggie without question and restraint.

I don't think it was her age. She's just not very attractive. :colbert:

This.

She's a good actress, but if it wasn't for her much better looking and famous brother, she wouldn't have any leading roles to begin with.

There's tons of Broadway talent that run circles around Hollywood actors but never get a chance in film b/c they aren't good looking enough.

It is what it is.

I don't care so much about age as I do about the woman herself but at 52 and single I'm surprised at how young women show an interest. Are you young guys these days really so pathetic that the young women don't want you?

No, they just really want your big, saggy scrotum. So do I tbh.

How is this news? 18-22 years old. 25 max. This is what all heterosexual men who can still get it up want. Doesn't matter if the guy is 95.

I submit the following evidence to the court; my grandfather was still getting Hustler monthly until he finally passed at 96.
