Carlos, she has a happier life than me? Well, then screw her.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
Color me (not) shocked (at all). When was the last time an actor who was still in the prime of their years announced retirement and actually stuck to it? I think Greta Garbo and Doris Day, both mentioned earlier, might have been the last ones (OT: I love the allusion to Garbo in Death Becomes Her when Isabella Rossellini's characters tells Meryl "Or as one client put it 'I want to be alone.'")
She said in the article she was interested in doing another TV series. And she didn't actually announce her retirement. But don't worry about what the article actually said. It's not important.
