There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fact of the matter is that we're all aging, and there's this stigma that older actresses don't work as much as younger actresses, and I don't think that's true anymore.
Hollywood will accept actresses playing ten years older, but actors can play ten years younger.
There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded.
Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.
I think actors worry too much about age. They should just get out there and make sure they're up for whatever jobs come along.
Every actress has to face the facts there are younger, more beautiful girls right behind you. Once you've gone beyond the vanity of the business, you'll take on the tough roles.
People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb.
Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'
