If' you've ever watched a TV show or gone to a film and said, "I know her face from somewhere," this is for you. Entertaining and informative, the documentary profiles actresses whose name you may not know, but whom you've seen as guest/bit/supporting players for decades. Their insights and anecdotes about Hollywood's history of "age-ism" which impacts the careers of actresses far more than of actors, the obstacles and difficulties women in Hollywood face are insightful without being vindictive or bitter. There are so many skilled and professional women in this category that I wish there were follow-up documentaries featuring other gals who were in that thing.

"That Gal" is the sequel to "That Guy…Who Was In That Thing", in which known male character actors talked about their careers. Now it's the ladies turn! I really wanna give a little praise to the producers of this film for finally putting the spotlight on to these very talented actresses. I enjoyed the the first film very much, but the in-depth interviews and the inside stories of what it's like to be an actress in the male dominated industry make this second edition much more interesting.

The film focus on 8 character actresses who open up about their experiences making it in Hollywood. Every topic is raised; sexism, race, age, and the pressure to stay beautiful and/or thin. And how the choices of doing nudity or having a child can effect the course of these women's career. "That Gal" is not only educational, it's entertaining and quite touching.

I wished that instead of just sitting around a table and discussing their gender as well as eating lunch. Which I kind of admit was amusing. These character actresses should had been explored more than their male counterparts.

Like in their personal lives and also in the fact, of how they are managing to get to Hollywood. Being a leading man and woman you get all the roles.

But being a character actor or actress, you get the lines and all of that. Plus it is an everyday struggle unlike their leading man or lady counterparts that get the best roles their way.

Like one of the posters, there should had been more actresses like Patricia Clarkson, that should had been on there. Oh well!
