From “High Fidelity” to “Riding in Cars with Boys,” Sara Gilbert appeared to be building up quite a neat filmography in the early part of the 21st century. But following a small cameo in 2004’s “The Rules of Attraction,” the actor went AWOL from the big screen.
In fact, it was only in 2023’s “80 for Brady,” the sports comedy about four lifelong friends on a jaunt to see New England Patriots star Tom Brady, that Gilbert added another movie credit to her resume. The Californian played the daughter of Lily Tomlin’s Lou in the box office hit, and speaking to Hollywood Insider about the role, she expressed how lucky she felt to be part of its talented cast.

“When I heard about the movie, I didn’t care what the part was. I just heard these huge names, these icons, I can’t think of anyone better to be in a movie with …” Referring to the likes of Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Sally Field, Gilbert added, “It’s so unreal to be with this group of women. If you were going to do a movie with one of them, you’d be beside yourself.”
