Later that night, the film's production team called to tell her that she was getting a better role.
She had a successful 50-year career on stage while taking some of her better known roles to film.
What better role for the rest of us to model?
I didn't mind that much because in my mind it was a better role.
The film did not lead to better roles, though she remained constantly employed, and also found work as a model.
What better role model could any parent ask for?
No reason at all not to look for a better role.
"Recognition gives you more access to better roles," she said.
A gesture that he took her seriously by writing a better role than she usually got to play.
If they were all filled, other players might simply move on to another setting, with better roles still open.
