Once celebrities start to rise and assume their place in the industry it’s a tentative thing to start with since like anyone they have to find their footing, establish their presence, and then pay their dues as they keep going. Acting is not a simple matter of jumping in and getting to work, it takes time to develop the kind of skills these folks have and to build up the overall confidence that is seen on the faces of so many within the industry. Even then it is never a fully certain thing as actors need to continually stay up on what they’re doing, what projects come next, and what will be available as they move forward.
Renee is definitely where she needs to be at this time, right near the top of her field.
