Reply to comment by ClankSinatra in Why did Faye Dunaway's career not surge after she won the Oscar for NETWORK? by Lili_Danube
I agree but you really understated the age issue. Only very recently have actresses around 40 years began to thrive. 35 used to be a career ender or the start of a 20 year long slump. And the rebound from the slump was never spectacular. It just meant you came back to some respect for having survived the desert. I think her lack of resurgence has to do with her not signing onto a show for the long term. She's done many 1 episode guest star bits but never committed to a show like Sally Field or Jane Fonda did. TV and streaming is fantastic for older actresses careers.
