Siobhan Lydon I saw this in Nextflix (which has a limited service in Ireland but charges the same money) and am surprised to learn I missed the first film.Thanks to the ladies for telling the truth and putting it on film. I've tweeted and posted on FB that people should watch this.I guess, its easy to assume that beautiful people have it easy and that's not necessarily the case. (A casting director would perhaps class me as straight woman who looks like an Irish lesbian nun). Excellent point about tax deductions wrt beauty treatments! Why hasn't SAG lobbied for that??I'm a lawyer and we get type cast as well. Women often do property and probate which is the tougher work, involving client hand holding but also suject to ups and downs. While men often do litigation, which has a longer time frame and more stable. Most lawyers nowadays are women but those running the firms are men. There is nothing creepier than a man who encourages the younger, female staff to massage his ego (ok there are some things creepier but not in an open office). If I'm tough, people call me a 'bitch' but if a male colleague is tough 'he's negotiating'. In politics, getting women to vote for women is hard work and we need to encourage all women to jump the rail. Why don't we support women? Women do most of the work on this planet and have little of the power.When it comes to the money I spend, I try to target women - even my mechanic is a woman (in business with her brother). Books by female writers. Music by female artists. The radio and TV I catch, I only listen to female hosts.As women, we have a responsibility to say 'I will support other women with every dollar I spend'. Then women will have 54% of the roles!

jenmaravegias-58204 I really enjoyed That Guy... and was very excited to learn that the filmmakers were giving the ladies of Hollywood their fair shake as well. This is a very well made doc, the women who are interviewed are insightful, funny and excruciatingly self-aware. I think this is an important movie because it's one thing for us to hear well-known female stars talking about inequality in Hollywood when they are making big paychecks and have their names above the titles. But it's a wholly different thing to hear from the women who have been working their butts off in Hollywood and are barely known. If you don't recognize who most of these women are I think it proves the point. They are literally in every thing and have been for a long time. Because they are not Gwyneth or Sandra, Julia or Jennifer doesn't mean they should be invisible. It doesn't make their stories or their work any less valid. The men and women featured in these documentaries are the backbone of the industry and we should be paying more attention to them. Bravo!

larrymotts "That Gal" is the sequel to "That Guy…Who Was In That Thing", in which known male character actors talked about their careers. Now it's the ladies turn! I really wanna give a little praise to the producers of this film for finally putting the spotlight on to these very talented actresses. I enjoyed the the first film very much, but the in-depth interviews and the inside stories of what it's like to be an actress in the male dominated industry make this second edition much more interesting.The film focus on 8 character actresses who open up about their experiences making it in Hollywood. Every topic is raised; sexism, race, age, and the pressure to stay beautiful and/or thin. And how the choices of doing nudity or having a child can effect the course of these women's career. "That Gal" is not only educational, it's entertaining and quite touching.

williamwasson I was so excited for this, I loved the previous film. I thought it was a great idea talking to character actors about their work. Was expecting the same here, maybe they would interview well known character actresses such as Patricia Clarkson, Margo Martindale, CCH Pounder, Loretta Devine, S. Epataha Merkenson, Constance Marie, etc. Actresses you've seen again and again talking about their work, their lives, and their families. What a letdown!! I Only recognized Paget Brewster, Roma Maffia and Catherine Hicks, had no clue who the others were. Mainly because I don't watch crap t.v. Paget Brewster was the only one talking any sense. None of these actresses talked about anything other than their gender, and how rough their careers and lives are because of they're women. That's all why talk about for an hour and a half! I think that this was the aim of the film. Unlike the previous one which was to actually shed light on being a working character actor. This was just non stop bitching and moaning. I have to admit though Paget's stories were touching I felt bad for her about being molested. I wish she had pursued legal action. Whoever the ass hat was he needs to go to jail. Flat out bad filmmaking!
