"I don't know, except possibly that everybody else who could play those parts has already died," she speculated.<\/h2>\n

Ellen Burstyn<\/strong> just revealed why she thinks that her schedule is busier than ever, and her answer is a bit darker than you might expect.<\/p>\n

While speaking with her Law and Order: Organized Crime <\/em>costar Christopher Meloni for Interview magazine, the actress revealed that she’s getting a “bizarre” amount of work.<\/p>\n

“I turn 91 in December and I’m busier than I can ever remember being at any point in my career,” said the Oscar-winning actress.<\/p>\n

At the time of the interview early in July, Burstyn notes that she was “juggling” two different movies.<\/p>\n

“And I don’t understand it at all. I mean, what’s all this stuff about ageism in Hollywood? How did I get left out of it?”<\/p>\n

When Meloni asked what the reasoning might be, Burstyn gave a comically grim response.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, except possibly that everybody else who could play those parts has already died,” she speculated.<\/p>\n

“So I’m the only actress still standing who can play the great-grandmother or something.”<\/p>\n

Burstyn recently starred in Universal’s The Exorcist: Believer,<\/em> a direct followup to the 1973 horror classic. Burstyn returns as MacNeil, an actress whose daughter Regan (Linda Blair) shared a body with a demon back in the day.<\/p>\n
