What was the name of the movie about a Shakespearean actor who played the part of females and was gradually being replaced as women began to play women?
Thanks to both Patti and Sandra. I'd never even heard of this film, so I just checked it out and it sounds fantastic. I'm a former actor myself, so I know I'm going to love it. I'm going to put it in my Netflix queue now!
Just went on my netflix queue, too. Somehow I missed this film when it was released. And I even did research on this subject in grad school - Restoration comedy.

I think it was Stage Beauty.
It's good you people came along via the Internet just when the mind began to fail. And that was a movie I liked. And only six years ago.

You will love it, Anne. Billy Crudup is wonderful in the part. Convincing.
It's been languishing on my Netflix queue for awhile, but now I'm moving it up to the top. Thanks for the info, guys!
Yeah, yeah, that's it. *completely befuzzled*
