The ones who are really bad tend to get maybe one or two chances. And after that they’re basically out.

As for the others, Michael Douglas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, Cristian Slater etc I don’t think anyone feels they haven’t earned their spot now.

Sofia Coppola did Godfather 3 realized her limitations and have basically only directed since then. Something tells me it was more her that made her father a favor, to help him out of a bad spot.

And she's made acclaimed films so she gets to make more. Her brother Roman did a few movies that got no traction and he hasn't directed a feature in over a decade.

I think this is because now the audience is attached to them; they are solidified.

But the better actor never got the role, they are probably still making coffee.
