This TV Moves shows that Jane Fonda could have been an excellent Dramatic actress, but political activism, personal wealth and her lack of dedication to acting have lead her elsewhere. The Dollmaker shows how drastically times have changed and helps us to understand part of our history and possibly a limited society that some people do not know exist. So often the struggles of the less well off are not given proper realism or understanding. The fact that the working poor have communication issues and different values and appreciations are often overlooked. Do people feel that the working poor have no time to have personal problems or that only the educated can appreciate art and beauty? This movie also points out the lack of women's rights and control or lack-there-of over their own lives in the 1940's.
