Red carpets and media coverage still disproportionately fixate on the physical appearance and anti-aging regimens of older actresses, reinforcing societal pressures to maintain a youthful facade.

She looked at her reflection—the lines around her eyes weren't "imperfections" to be blurred by CGI; they were a roadmap of every character she had ever inhabited. Among major characters in these films, women aged
