IMDB is being sued for $1 million for revealing an actress' age on the site. The actress, who wants to remain anonymous, is complaining because she claims it is harder for women over 40 to get a job in Hollywood where youth is king. Her lawyer says, "If one is perceived to be 'over-the-hill,' i.e. approaching 40, it is nearly impossible for an up-and-coming actress, such as the Plaintiff, to get work as she is thought to have less of an 'upside' therefore casting directors, producers, directors, agents/managers, etc. do not give her the same opportunities, regardless of her appearance and talent," She says at first she asked IMDB to remove her age from her profile but her request was denied. Now she is suing the web site for violation of privacy, fraud, and breach of contract.
That's bullshit. It doesn't matter how old you are. It matters hold you look. That's why plastic surgery is such a trend in Hollywood. Look at Joan Rivers. Everyone knows she's over 80 but she's had more needles on her face than someone at a Courtney Love concert. The women is said to be of Asian descent, which I believe is her biggest problem. The only famous Asian people are Lucy Lui and anyone who took part in a martial arts movie. Homegirl can either start taking Karate lessons be a stunt double for that girl on Glee.
