> “Maybe it was more extreme back then in the ’40s and ’50s and ’60s,” she says of sexism and ageism in the industry, “but it certainly hasn’t changed that much.”
Damn shame.
She made AHS for me.
And it never will if roles for actresses over 40 aren’t created that actually have appeal to the general audiences.
To many producers women are still window dressing and are treated as such, despite these great actresses having so much more to give. It just needs to become clear that there are more roles for women over 40 instead of “concerned mom”, “concerned boss” and “concerned grandmother”.
Give us more badass elder witches, Tomb Raider 3 with Jolie, investigative female generals, a female president saving herself from a hostage situation. It’s possible, it can be done and audiences CAN be convinced to show up if the movies are good
Jessica Lange is a FUCKING NATIONAL TREASURE.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Goddess.
Hollywood is driven much more by what they think people want to look at than by age groups of actors getting equal time on screen.
