Following the Tonys, the Women & Hollywood blog has an interesting perspective on the stars who come to Broadway. The theater community has mixed feelings about the phenomenon, and many responses assume, consciously or not, that the stars are doing Broadway a favor by appearing on stage. W&H’s Melissa Silverstein rightly points out that the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Scarlett Johansson don’t get to sink their teeths into meaty roles on screen, whereas they get to play full characters at the theater. (I’d add to that list someone like Carla Gugino, who’s done Miller, O’Neill and Williams on the NY stage, and is stuck in thankless girlfriend parts in her movies.) This applies a lot more to female than male stars, no matter their ages: If they’re young, women are employed for their looks, and if they’re older, they’re … never mind, they’re not employed. Clearly, theater and television are more hospitable to women. Film? Not so much.
