She has done that work. The thirty years of professional credits — the modeling, the commercials, the guest roles, the six seasons of Gossip Girl, the Broadway debut, the folk album, the film work, the network comedy, the international television, the ongoing career — are evidence not simply of professional endurance but of the sustained capacity to keep doing the work honestly, without collapsing the distinction between the work and the self.
She is a working actress. She has always been a working actress. She will, if the available evidence is any guide, continue to be one.
The career is not finished. The life is not resolved. Both continue.
