    Seems like she’s successful enough that she could have her agent just demand that she’s unwilling to do any marketing.

      That’s not what the industry does.

      She might as well applying to be a butcher that doesn’t want to slaughter and process animals.

      Thats the job. Thats the industry. They sell toxic products using “stories” and pretty faces.

        A former child star isn’t an automatic ticket seller. Her name isn’t synonymous with a “movie that needs to be seen”. She isn’t a Hanks or Cruise, or DiCaprio or Streep (while any of them were in their heyday). Someone like them could get away with it. So long as they took a smaller paycheck, at least.

        There are some talents so great that they could get away with this and much more. Brando comes to mind.

        But they’re obviously the exception to the rule.

          Yes. It’s a big industry with many people employed that aren’t Parasocial parasitic celebrities or pedophile CEOs. Those are just the people in power, slinging slop advertisements disguised as “stories” to the media illiterate masses.
