“There are only three ages for women in Hollywood - Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy”

American actress Goldie Hawn said as the character “Elise” in the film The First Wives Club (1996):
 
“There are only three ages for women in Hollywood—Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.”
 
Diving Miss Daisy (1989) was an Academy Award-winning film; the title character of “Miss Daisy” was an elderly woman who required a driver. A 2008 book stated, “The same could be said of women in general—we’re young hot things, moms, or old ladies. That’s all we got.”

Somehow, Debra Winger hadn’t heard the old joke about the three ages for women in Hollywood – babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
 
When I ran it by her, I heard the familiar Winger laugh.
 
“I think I skipped district attorney,” she cracked.
