Re: Stuck on Repeats
I saw Bullet for Adolph a few weeks back. For those who don't know it is a limited run play written by Woody Harrelson and a friend he worked with on construction, like 30 years ago. The friend is a play writer, but not a successful one. Anyhoo, the two wrote this play.

It sucks.
But Shamika Cotton is in it. Now Ms. Cotton seems to be late 20s and is quite beautiful. Beautiful woman on the NY stage, nothing worth mentioning, correct? Well, she also played Michael Lee's mom in The Wire. Mike's mom had to be at least 30, and was a haggard addict. So, the Wire cast a younger beautiful woman, and made her look older and ugly, or at least beaten.
Can you imagine being a less than beautiful actress or one well into her 30s? A role that called for a haggard woman in her 30s isn't filled by a woman in her 30s who is plain: no, they'll take someone who had to be early 20s at the time and ugly her up. Crazy.
