Actresses in their 40’s - how many of your actress friends from your 20’s have given up?

I’d say it’s at 75% for me. The girls that I came in with in my early 20’s have decided it’s too tough or left for other reasons - only a handful of my friends left - have you noticed this too? On plus side less competition.
