Penny Perry, a 79-year-old casting director, alleges wrongful termination due to ageism, stating that her career at Hallmark ended with ageist harassment and callous dismissal.
Hamilton Daly reportedly stated that Hallmark needed to replace older talent, including Lacey Chabert, claiming she was 'getting older,' thus justifying the need for younger actresses.
Hallmark denies all allegations, asserting they maintain positive relationships with a diverse talent pool, including actors of various ages, contradicting claims of age discrimination.
The lawsuit asserts that Hallmark's treatment of Perry reflects deeper issues of ageism within the network, labeling the situation as devoid of a 'happy ending'.
