I don't think she truly has her pick of scripts in film... and she has that MUCH MUCH more in theater, she has her pick of any new script with a lead older woman or one willing to rewrite it for her, and literally every single play ever written with a character she wants to play.
And she has plenty of money. I don't think the decision is based on money. But even if it were, getting the kind of salaries that Bette, Nathan Lane, Denzel get on Broadway... that is nothing to shake a stick at.
I assume she just doesn't feel compelled to do it 8 times a week for at least 12 weeks. |
