Minka Kelly, an actress who once considered her career over, is experiencing a revival at age 44 after releasing her memoir, 'Tell Me Everything.' Known for her breakout role in 'Friday Night Lights,' she transitioned from nursing to acting unexpectedly. Despite long periods of inactivity in Hollywood, her memoir's acclaim has reignited interest in her work. She stars in the new Netflix series 'Ransom Canyon' and is set to appear in 'Champagne Problems,' marking a significant comeback as a romantic lead, challenging norms around age in the film industry.
If Hollywood had finished with her, she would survive it. But recently, having published a sensitive, unsparing memoir, Tell Me Everything, a New York Times best seller, Kelly found herself again in demand.
I didn't think a romantic lead would be available to a woman in her 40s. But it was. And audiences have been enthusiastic: Ransom Canyon, has been one of Netflix's most popular shows.
I've gotten to a place in my life where I am my best, and now the best thing has happened.
This is Lyla 20 years later, Kelly said of her new role, comparing it with the one she played in Friday Night Lights.
