Post 1 - Ageism in Hollywood

The first blog post from my feed we will be focusing on takes a look at ageism in the film industry, especially focused on female movie stars. Ageism refers to how the industry begins to push certain stars out of the spotlight due to the fact that they get older, and a lot of the selling points for some films are the star's youth, sexuality and appearance. 

The Article makes a point in stating that older characters in films tend to be the more interesting ones, and that Hollywood needs to put more importance on portraying an older person in films to add realism to them.
