When I look for roles, I am looking for incredibly powerful women.

If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a...

Everything else is easy after being a mom!
