In recent Hollywood awards ceremonies, there has been a noticeable cultural shift, particularly regarding older women in the industry. Successful figures like Demi Moore and Isabella Rossellini are not only nominated but thriving, challenging the historical invisibility of women aged 40 and above. This change marks a significant departure from past norms, where women often vanished in mid-life. Now, older women are gaining recognition and power, indicating a possible new standard for beauty and acceptance in Hollywood, leading to discussions about the industry's treatment of women.
It's another form of stigma-busting and perhaps the last taboo. Thriving older women in Hollywood upset the natural order of things.
Somehow, the older Hollywood woman has become bankable because of her age, not despite it, and in the process, redefining screen industry perceptions of old.
