My sister Diana is past the five-year mark since diagnosis.
Endless love
Liam’s and my characters are a very optimistic, life-affirming couple.
It’s a middle-aged love story, and love survives cancer it transcends it.
But there’s a way of living through them and coping with them and managing them and enduring them.
Grownup actresses conquer Hollywood
Being 60 isn’t what it was when my mother was alive.
I don’t think of myself as old.
It’s shifting older women are fronting films: myself,Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep,Annette Bening.
Liam’s makes my character feel beautiful even though she’s lost her hair to chemotherapy.
Our sexuality is not dead in the water.
We’re still active and want to be thought of in that way.
More films promote that idea now, and producers are seeing that there’s a real market for it.
Our son, Alfie Oldman [a cameraman for Hugh Grant’sPatrick Melroseminiseries), was very happy that night.
He’s one of the rare few who’s had both his parents Oscar nominated the same year.
A historic moment, you know.
All of these age barriers being broken down is just a positive.
Too hot to retire
I couldn’t think of anything worse.
I don’t know what I’d do with my days.
I don’t know how I’d use my brain.
I’ve got 30-year-old friends who get more exhausted than I do.
