Mary-Louise Parker chats about 'Red 2'

Mary-Louise Parker this week told News Corp. Australia that she’s “almost done acting” because she’s grown tired of the “mean-spirited,” critical culture.

“The world has gotten too mean for me,” she told the Australian media company. “All the websites and all the blogging and all the people giving their opinion and their hatred … it’s all so mean-spirited.”

If the retirement plans hold true, it’d be a shame, because the acting world would lose a unique talent — a Tony and Emmy winner (for “Proof” and “Angels in America,” respectively) who starred in the Showtime hit “Weeds” and brings an offbeat mixture of charm, beauty and smarts to each role.

You can get a double dose of the 48-year-old this weekend at the movies, where she stars in the sequel “Red 2” alongside Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, and “R.I.P.D.,” with Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. Last month, amNewYork spoke with Parker.
