Check out this great quote from a great interview with The Guardian
Society makes women of a certain age invisible. It’s convenient. Remember our mothers? How inconvenient they were to us? It’s like that, on a grand scale. In the early part of my life I carried the flame for fiery women: perky women who were not dumb. And now I feel like I could be the woman to play this role: the invisible woman.” Only no one is writing these kinds of parts. “Roles for women. There aren’t any. They’ve been saying that since the 1920s, and it’s true. [My theory is that] women don’t write enough. Because who do they expect to write these roles? Men?”
One new years wish: more parts for Debra Winger, bigger than her part in Rachel Getting Married.

Melissa,
I truly enjoyed reading this article about Debra Winger, thanks so much for posting about it and the link.
I’ve always been a fan, she is so appealing, then and now — wonderful to watch on the screen and interesting to listen to in “real life”.
I definitely want to check out her book now and hope that someone writes a great film role for her……soon!

My husband and I are having a dispute, i say you were guest on Law & Order on April 10th show and he says no. Pls reply with answer
I think you win. If it’s the episode I’m thinking she played a principal of a high school.
