You forget how the industry treats older women. We aren't privy to those casting conversations and probably take more things than not for granted. Once Kristin Davis left Sex and the City, she was forced to take mommy roles as that is what the industry offered. When she was offered the SATC movie, she jumped at the chance!

"They (were) mom roles. There’s not a huge amount of choice for women my age, so it’s not that easy. I had whole scenes in Deck The Halls where I had no lines. I had whole days on Shaggy Dog where my only line was: ‘Shaggy?’ "I’d email my manager saying: ‘You have to come over here. I’m losing my mind.’ If I had to do that forever, I’d simply quit acting and work for charity. "So when we came back to do this movie, I was like: ‘Thank God, something to do!’"

Speaking of Kristin doing mommy roles, does anyone watch Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids on Noggin? Kristin is the voice of the mom spider. I looked it up one day because I thought her voice was so soothing and had to know who played the main character.
