women in film

[Asian Hooker]

For actress-wise, Kagawa Kyoko, Kiki Kirin, Iwashita Shima, Tanaka Kinuyo and... well I'll post or e-mail Lola off-list their names seen in contemporary Japanese films since the list members should be familiar with those who are starring in the classics. I'm no longer a huge TV fan but when I turn on my TV occasionally, it comes to my attention that lots of actresses(is this PC?) have reached the age with grey hair and play elder women's role, which means I'm getting aged, too.

The question threw me: lots of grandmothers came to mind and all sorts of women are represented in television films, but single elderly women in mainstream films? And positive reply representations of?
