I wonder if Sunset Blvd. might not be too far off the track for your research, since it deals with a woman who is only middle aged, but seen as old by the standards of the Hollywood machine, while DeMille, at probably 20 years her senior, is shown still active and powerful. Best of luck on your research. I'd be interested in seeing the finished product. Meredith McMinn ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
