“Why isn’t my mother in the movies? She’s an extraordinary actress,” asked Johnson. “Why isn’t my grandmother in the movies? This industry is brutal. No matter how tough you are, sometimes there’s the feeling of not being wanted. It’s absurd and cut-throat.

Whenever I have downtime, I’m unsure that I will ever work again. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a definite thing that happens to me,” she said.
