Let’s talk about Frances Fisher, a legendary actress who’s been dazzling audiences for over four decades. But don’t you dare mention the word "retirement" to her—because she’s not planning to slow down anytime soon. In an exclusive chat with Closer Weekly, the 66-year-old actress opened up about her thoughts on retirement, her passion for activism, and her unforgettable journey in the world of acting.
