Editing Mary Steenburgen (section)

=== Music career ===
In 2007, Steenburgen underwent minor surgery on her arm, which required a [[general anaesthetic]]; shortly thereafter, she began experiencing "music (...) playing in her head day and night". She subsequently took music lessons so that she could write down what she was hearing, and by 2013 had almost 50 songwriting credits.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/health/mary-steenburgen-brain-became-musical-strange-complication-during-routine-surgery/ | date=14 November 2019 | title=Mary Steenburgen's Brain 'Became Musical' After a 'Strange' Complication from a Routine Surgery| author=Mazziotta, Julie|publisher=People Magazine }}</ref> She has collaborated with musicians from Nashville and was also signed to [[Universal Music Group]] as a songwriter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2013/10/oscar-winning-actress-mary-steenburgen-takes-up-accordion-at-60 | date=21 October 2013 | title=Oscar Winning Actress Mary Steenburgen Takes Up Accordion at 60| author=Fisher, Luchina|website=abcnews.com }}</ref> She performs one of her own songs in ''Last Vegas''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aarp.org/entertainment/movies-for-grownups/info-01-2014/2014-movies-for-grownups-film-awards.html | date=January 2014 | title=2014 Movies for Grownups Awards| author=Newcott, Bill|website=aarp.com }}</ref>
