Jamie Lee Curtis Claims Hollywood Is “An Ageist Industry”

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has described Hollywood as an ageist industry, claiming that there are negative attitudes toward older women.

In a new interview with NME, talking about her latest film Halloween Kills, Curtis claimed that its common for older actors to be rejected from roles in a film because of their age.

“There’s no question; there are some jobs that you will lose or some jobs that you won’t get because of your age,” she said.

The actress went on to say that she believes her creativity is one of the main reasons she still gets roles.

“Creativity will always win. If you create something that they want, it doesn’t matter how old you are,” she said.

Curtis’ latest film Halloween Kills is available to watch in cinemas now.
