Jessica Lange

The ‘Cape Fear’ star highlighted that “ageism is pervasive” in Hollywood and can be expressed by the disparity about who is seen as desirable on film.

The 74-year-old actress told AARP magazine: "You don't often see women in their 60s playing romantic leads, yet you will see men in their 60s playing romantic leads with co-stars who are decades younger. I think about how few wonderful actresses of my generation are still doing viable, important film work. You go to television. You go to the stage. You do whatever you can because you want to keep working."
