Second Class Sandra


From "Oscar Roundtable" in the February 8, 2010 Newsweek:


Let's do some more hyping. Did you guys know that with The Blind Side, Sandra became the first female star to have her movie make more than $200 million?


Sandra Bullock: First chick.


Jeff Bridges: Beautiful!


Bullock: It's nice, but it's odd. It's like, you're female and you've done this! And I go, I know I'm a second-class citizen. I've been aware of that since I reached puberty.


Do you think studio heads are finally realizing that women can open movies just like men?


Bullock: That women are worth something? I don't think they've learned that 100%. It's a business. It's show business. . .

Wow.

So many people will still think she's just being dramatic, but her words are so true. Well, they're not TRUE true, but they are the truth of our society.

God have mercy.
