‘There Are Still Great Roles For Older Women’, Says Sigourney Weaver  Sigourney Weaver |
Sigourney Weaver has blasted older actresses who complain they're overlooked by filmmakers because of their age, insisting there are still ‘great’ roles for veteran stars.
Weaver turned 60 in September (09) but she maintains hitting the landmark age hasn't slowed down her career - and she is adamant it's unfair when other stars blame ageism in Hollywood for not landing more films.
She says, "It's not always right to say there are fewer parts for older women. Really great stories have characters of all ages in them, and there are still some of those in our film industry and in TV...
"I would like to have more time to smell the flowers, but I have more work than I can handle. I'm grateful I'm so busy, though. The parts get better as I get older."
