Why are so many actors retired/or retiring while still in middle age/late middle age (at least at an age where they can believably play a patriarch/CEO/pilot/author/professor/general, etc? ) Jim Carrey, Daniel Day Lewis, rumors of Brad Pitt - I am sure there are others I am missing.
Most of the musicians who are retiring are close to 70 (or over) so that I understand.

I have liked some of her work and have nothing bad to say about her, but if she is really interested in retiring rather than, say, taking a long break or being more selective and infrequent in taking on roles, why not channel any frustrations with patriarchy into taking a hand on the producer end of things?

R92 Have you seen the film? This is NOT a performance she’s done a million times. Whereas with DDL he was serious, Blanchett probably just wants maybe some time to herself and some rest after her next projects, then she will come back, if she ever stops working at all. Tilda Swinton has said she wants to retire but hasn’t. Actors get bored after awhile when they have time off, then they get back to it.
Blanchett has an ego, like all multiple Oscar winners, and many in the acting industry. She can’t resist the thought of joining the three Oscar winner club. That’s why I expect to see a turbo charged campaign with her promoting Tar. She knocks Yeoh off the screen in terms of acting, and what she brings to this role.
