Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.

I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

I have never savored life with such gusto as I do now.
