00:00There's a phrase in America, aged out of Hollywood.
00:05I was the daughter who watched both of her parents lose the very thing that they loved the most,
00:13which was their work, because Hollywood did not let them age.
00:18When I made the original Freaky Friday movie, I was playing the mother to Lindsay Lohan, who was 15,
00:25but I also had a 15-year-old daughter at home and a 5-year-old daughter at home.
00:33My experiences as a mother were reflected in the movie, so much so that the first day of shooting Freaky Friday,
00:40I improvised the line, make good choices, because I was living with a 15-year-old who I was trying to encourage to make good choices.
00:50I'm a family born from adoption. I'm a family born from divorce.
00:56My husband and I have been married 41 years. We have two children born through adoption.
01:02So our family is very important to me. My marriage is important to me.
01:11My children both got married in my backyard was important to me.
01:17That I married one of my children as the officiant, very important to me.
01:24That level of trust and comfort tells me that we are a family.
01:31There's a phrase in America, aged out of Hollywood.
01:35I was the daughter who watched both of her parents lose the very thing that they loved the most, which was their work.
01:45Because Hollywood did not let them age.
01:49Hollywood was not interested in them the older they got.
01:53And that's very sad to watch.
01:56I, on the other hand, have had the complete opposite experience.
02:01I have always been aware that that was a possibility.
02:04So I've always taken, like, five steps away from Hollywood so that I never got to the point where I was sad that they didn't ask me to play anymore.
02:17But the truth is, they asked me to play more today than they ever did any other day of my life.
02:24I'm having every opportunity my parents never had at 66.
02:28And that's beautiful.
02:33I'm thrilled to have those opportunities.
02:35I'm also aware of how hard that is for so many actors, many people I know in show business, who don't get to work anymore.
