My Amazing Woman, S04E03
Holly Lindin for Barbara Manning
Barbara is an older woman (70s), a one-time housewife who outlived her husband. She had been mild-mannered and unadventurous until she had the chance to literally be someone else. She takes it, in part, because she knows she's at the end of the road.

It’s true. One day after you gave me the necklace I was looking in the mirror and just for giggles I said her magic word and suddenly I was young again. And tall. And pretty. And I could do anything.
(coughs) I’m telling you, Donna, it works. I have been changing to Ishtar and having some fun. All these years I was a good wife and a good mother and a good grandmother. But I never got to have any fun. Well, I’m having some before my time runs out. And speaking of that, the report from the doctor is pretty bad. (coughs) I may be heading to hospice soon. I was hoping my granddaughter would come visit before then.
(in response to Donna suggesting she simply stay Ishtar) I’ve thought about doing that. Believe me, I have. But that’s not the way things work, Donna.
