Still young, as far as I'm concerned.
It's such a difficult position. The AIP films she controls were a legacy left to her by Jim Nicholson. She undoubtedly understands the cult value of them, and had stars put in her eyes by the guy who was pitching them for her. In reality, a "big-selling" older title WEREWOLF that might have, at the height of VHS, sold 5000 units, and more like 1500 to 2000 by the time people got persnickety with DVD. If the sales guy knew the thievery and double-dealing in the distribution business, he held out for a big advance, knowing full well they would never see another dime in royalties. And naturally, distributors would balk at shelling out 5 or 10 grand up front, since they want the whole thing for free, and an advance cuts into their profits. The option would be to sell off the rights for a pittance and acknowledge that was worth a bit a few years before is now next to valueless in the open market.
As someone who has both made money (at the height of VHS) and gotten utterly stiffed (rather more recently), there's no good answer.
