Sharing the September cover with Rachel Bilson and Ali Larter as part of a “Gorgeous at any age” feature, Lane is still “red-hot at 43,” but raises some eyebrows when discussing the sex factor in her film roles:
“It makes me very uncomfortable…. I tell my daughters, ‘That’s why they call it work, because it’s not what you’d prefer to do with your free time….’ I don’t want any more sex scenes on-screen. I’m done.”
So men now have a reason to be considered the "weaker sex." Go ahead, guys, break out the hankies for this one. Lane just gave all of us something to cry about.

Sorry you didn't get your hot sex. Go see Righteous Kill if you want some hot kinky sex.
Sounds like a nice, romantic weepy, although I do object to all the AARP references:)

One of the things I really appreciated about Nights In Rodanthe was there wasn't a lot of lurid and tasteless sex scenes, it's ROMANCE, after all, not a tawdry affair! This movie reminded me a bit of Casablanca or Somewhere In Time in that respect. It's nice to leave a bit of mystery and imagination for the viewer. Plus I like the fact that it show that love, romance and yes, sex is not just for the under 40s. We need more movies like Nights In Rodanthe.
