Invisible Hollywood - Home of Oxymorons - Sexy Sexism Soliloquy
2020-12-28
[Breitbart] Actress Emma Thompson called out Hollywood’s casting sexism, stating that once a woman passes the age of 50, she becomes “invisible.”

“You get past 50, and you’re invisible,” said Thompson a recent interview on the CultureBlast podcast. The Love Actually and Late Night star was asked what she thought about being offered to play the role of Mother Theresa when she was only in her 50’s.

"Cool, Dad, but you'd better not... drop her."
That unoiled machinery
Still chewed up the scenery
And laid out poor Pop, good and proper.

#3  Waiting around for a screenwriter (massively male demographic) to create a decent role for a woman of their age group is just stupid.

Create a production company to find and generate your own movies projects.

#2  Heh... I know a couple of actresses in their 20s and 30s, and they're invisible in the movies they're starring in.
