Blythe Danner Q&A

I'm always chatting up my pool maintenance man

Sounds very nice.

I like the sound of the film. I think as you get older there are points in life that make you reevaluate. I would like to ask Blythe Danner whether any of the things in the film are things she has tried in real life.

Yes although the film sounds fun and light-hearted I was wondering about changes she must have had to make in real life when she lost her husband which must have been an incredibly difficult time

Hello Blythe I was interested to hear of the work you are doing to raise awareness of oral cancer because certainly over here it's one that we know very little about. What are the things to be aware of in particular?

Hello blythe all the things I have seen you in are comedy type films and programmes. Is this what you enjoy most? The film sounds great by the way - look forward to seeing it.

If I am allowed to ask another. I believe the film also centres around female friendship. Is this something that is important to you in real life?

Hello there, I saw something advertising the film (forgotten where) saying that it shows life can begin afresh at any age. Is this something you agree with? Or do you think it gets harder as you get older?

OK I am going to be the one to ask the question everyone is dying to know! What's it like being Gwyneth's mother?! (Very nice I imagine but are you close?)

Hi Blythe have you and Gwyneth ever acted in something together and if you haven't would you like to (I thought she was fabulous in Country Strong)? Or do you prefer to keep work and family separate? Also the kinds of films you do are quite different so if you did do something together what would you like it to be?

Do you eat microbiotic food like Gwyneth? Or (like me) do you like things like toast and chips (I think in america they are called fries?) too much to give up. Maybe that is just me

Can I also ask what it was like to work with woody allen? I'm dying to know...

id just like to say thank you for your work with planned parenthood - i am continually amazed by the lack of sexual health services and support for women and am glad that tgere are people like you to help raise awareness and keep places like this - which offer services a woman should have the right to have access to - going. when and what made you get involved?

Do you buy chocolate for your grandchildren and if you do does Gwyneth get cross? (sorry - cheeky!)

Do you think it's harder for women in film to stay in the business? Is ageism getting better or worse, in your opinion?

it looks a lovely film despite the fact that it reminds me of how cast adrift i felt ater my husband died. Wouldn't it be lovelt if there was a Bill around the corner for all of us??

No questions but I would like to say to Blythe that I think she is a wonderful actress and thank you for all the enjoyment you have given us over the years

Hi Blythe - you've worked with so many amazing directors and actors/actresses. Whose been your favourite so far? Who would you like to work with in future?

lovely, will be going to see this when it comes ouyt
