[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438019, member: 5079"] Actors like Victoria Principal and Tina Louise, who mostly distanced themselves from their most famous roles, really seemed to rankle the respective fanbases but it seems like the smart path to me. Fame has always seemed like one of the rungs of Hell from my perspective, but fame tied to something from decades past is surely one of the lower rungs. Having to recount the same anecdotes over and over, or trying to spin some minor co-worker disagreement into a semblance of a dramatic feud, is awfully tedious. I listened to a few minutes of the interview but turned it off for a different reason. The thought of her mortality pains me but, at some point in the last couple of years, she really started to look and sound like an old woman. I know she's in her mid-70s, but as of just a few years ago she seemed like a well preserved late middle age. That jump to Nancy Reagan old lady (in a giant wig) hits hard. [/QUOTE]
