In October last year she announced her retirement from movies. “I’ve accepted the fact that I may still continue getting asked the question: ‘when is your next film?’ even when I’m 90. Truly flattered all, but at some point, you’ll have to accept that the movie thing was just a short term fling and that I have no desire to return.”
