buffystark:Kathryn Hahn for The Hollywood ReporterActor Kathryn Hahn Says The Best Part Of Her Career Came Post-KidsWhen Kathryn Hahn first moved to LA to become an actor, she started auditioning — but quickly became disillusioned.“When I started to see the roles that were available to me, what I was being seen for, I definitely thought … ‘This is just such a small part of me that’s being seen. I wish somebody could see more of what I can offer,’” Hahn says.It wasn’t until Hahn was in her late 30s and 40s that she finally began landing the roles she craved, playing complex women in TV series like Transparent and Parks and Recreation, and movies like Bad Moms and Private Life. Hahn notes that most of these roles have been with female directors and producers.“The most complicated and messy roles I’ve been able to get have been offered through women,” she says. “I’m just so buoyed and galvanized that the juiciest part of [my career] has been post-kids. … I never anticipated that. So that’s terribly exciting.”Hahn is currently starring in the HBO series Mrs. Fletcher. The show, which is based Tom Perrotta’s bestselling novel, centers on a divorced woman who has a confusing sexual reawakening after her son leaves home for college.“We were surrounded by an incredible group of women directors and writers and we had this amazing intimacy coordinator,” Hahn says of her work on Mrs. Fletcher. “That was what made it attractive to me. It was finding a woman in her complete privacy of finding pleasure for just herself.” -- source link
