Yahoo! News - Actress: Ageism Plagues Hollywood

So says Doris Roberts. But come on. Hollywood is largely about looks, remember? That's how it is. Looking attractive is part of an actress' job. I'm not saying it's fair, but that's how it is -- people like looking at pretty people. (In particular, they like looking at pretty people who have horrible problems, because that makes us feel better. We may not be pretty, but at least we aren't amnesiac kleptomaniac nymphomaniac drug addicts with bulemia.) Do you want to force Hollywood to cast more old people, even though the movies and shows will crash, because it would mean more jobs for you and your friends?
