This decade of women

There seems to be a whole cache of women in Hollywood who have been designated “character actresses”. Many of these women have the acting chops to be leading ladies. Incidentally, many of these women also fall in the same age range: their 50s.

This blog will center on profiles of these fabulous female actresses of the stage and screen, as well as those behind-the-scenes (writers, editors, cinematographers, etc.)

Even the title of the blog is an homage to one of the women working in the industry. It’s a line from The West Wing episode, “The Supremes”, which was written by Debora Cahn. When Toby asks Josh what he thought of Justice Evelyn Baker, a judge that Josh is vetting as a Supreme Court nominee, Josh says, “I love her. I love her shoes…I love her mind.”
