A friend suggested she try dating online, so she created a profile on Facebook. 'I was looking for people to tell me: 'You're okay. Even though you just got divorced, you're still marketable,'' she said, adding that she did get attention from men online.

'Everything in the play sounds contemporary. Every single argument about North and South, rich and poor, white and Black — every single aspect is going on right now in this country,' Weiner tells 'Elizabeth Vargas Reports.'
