She next appears in the science fiction mini-series "Tin Man", a retelling of The Wizard of Oz.

I know she's in 'The Happening' (Shyamalan) and 'The Assassination of Jesse James' and I saw a lot of the movies on her imdb-page ... but I can't remember her from anything really.

Honestly, I thought a big Jim Carrey movie like this would have a bigger co-star. But this one is fine, I guess. :)

My thoughts exactly ... she's only 2 years older then me. I was thinking more of a "older" woman as his wife, since you really can see Jim is aging in his latest movies.

She's lovely -- except she looks more like his daughter than his love interest.

If I were an actress and 40 something, I'd be so pissed. How come all the good parts go to actresses under 30?

Didn't Jenny say in an interview "Longevity is defined by youthfullness" ? Well, i guess she's right, and that sucks.

No wonder they all get Botox and major plastic surgery -- nobody is giving them a chance. God forbid a women get a lead role if she has a few wrinkles.
The truth shall set you free.
