Melanie Griffith Says She Can’t Get Hired in Hollywood

Melanie Griffith has acknowledged that she took a role in the Broadway production of Chicago (as Roxie Hart) because she is no longer able to find work in Hollywood. “I wish that I could make more movies,” she told today’s (Thursday) New York Times. “The fact that I have some lines on my face, that’s it. It’s not because I lost my talent or I became deformed. It’s only because I’m older. And that’s really sad. It’s something that I do feel a passion to fight.” Due to leave the Chicago cast on Oct. 5, Griffith indicated that it might mark the end of her showbiz career. “I might do a TV show, I might quit,” she said. “I was thinking this would be a great way to go out.”
