Her schedule is jam-packed, she is starring in a new TV series she conceived, developed and co-produced and she’s fielding new offers every day.
It’s success Rebecca never saw coming
“I used to joke in my 20s and 30s that I’d have a use-by date and that was probably going to be around 40,” she told news.com.au. “And I used to think that was being self-deprecating but it actually wasn’t.
“It wasn’t self-deprecating, it was a form of self-sabotage — and also because I thought ‘I don’t want to disappoint myself if the jobs stop coming’.
“And you know what? I’m still really vital and I’m still interesting and I’ve got better stories to tell now than I did in my 20s.
“I just want to keep working and keep producing and keep creating roles for older people and let Australia know that we don’t dry up at 50, we are still incredibly vital because I know a lot of people my age and older who feel invisible, and we’re not.
“If I can stay visible for the next 10, 20, 30 years then the people around me who are my age can also stay visible. And that’s what it’s all about.”
