Movie Review: Nights in Rodanthe - Page 3

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.
