I suspect that she would actually be able to get a fair bit of work as she would get "character" roles. A lot of female actors find that once the first flush of youth has disappeared they fall into a dark hole unless they look interesting enough to play character roles or look old enough to fill the "mature" woman role. Plus actors often wear wigs to achieve the right look so thinning or non-existent hair need not be a problem.
