There aren't that many 47 year old female undergraduates, let alone in computer science. And, in addition to describing her own experiences at UCLA, Bateman, is publicizing stories of older women going back to school in STEM subjects, as you'll see from her twitter and esp. her tumblr, where she lets some of these women tell their stories, at length. And it's interesting reading about her interest in computer science, what it took for her to be able to be admitted to UCLA, her experiences with the courses and projects, etc. Additionally, if you read her stuff, you'll see she is an entrepreneur, with her own company, who was trying to get Hollywood interested in doing projects involving digital media, the internet, etc. years ago but kept getting push-back. And that's without any of the celebrity pixie-dust. As far as that goes: she was on a very highly rated, award-winning TV show, along with Michael J. Fox, called Family Ties, back when tens of millions of people would watch a TV show. And: given that the newly-revived Arrested Development just came out on Netflix, she happens to be the sister of Jason Bateman, who plays Michael Bluth. tl;dr: she's quite HN-worthy.
