At the premiere of Ethan Coen’s “Drive-Away Dolls” the actress showed up accompanied by her son Gideon Babe Ruth Howard and, despite knowing she was very different from the star of the 80s and 90s, she didn’t bother to hide her age
Getting old in Hollywood is considered a cardinal sin, but Debra Winger seems to care less than zero and confirmed it by appearing on the red carpet of Ethan Coen’s “Drive-Away Dolls” with all her 68 years on display. With long, curly silver-grey hair, thick eyeglasses, very little make-up (in fact, almost nothing) and a casual look, the actress posed smiling and proud next to her son Gideon Babe Ruth Howard, not caring about the inevitable comments she would have unleashed for the his image does not conform to the Hollywood diktat of old age to be hidden at all costs.

In truth, in 1992 she should have also played “Winning Girls”, but she preferred to give up the role after knowing that the other protagonist would be Madonna, motivating her decision with the fact that she did not consider the singer sufficiently serious as an actress. .

The spotlight came back on in 2008 with “Rachel Getting Married” by Jonathan Damme, thanks to which he obtained his first nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards, while in 2014 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Transilvania International Film Festival and from 2016 to 2020 he starred in the Netflix series “The Ranch”.
