There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.
There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.
In my business, guys may age, but it's not even a question they're valued. But women my age are supposed to disappear.
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.
Surely being a Professional Beauty - let alone an ageing one - is one of the most insecure and doomed careers imaginable.
As a society, I think older women are marginalized, but I think that has changed so much in the last twenty years.
I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.
There is a phenomenal amount of pressure on women in this industry: they are considered vintage by the time they hit their mid-30s.
I think older women still have a full life.
