Age ain’t nothin’ but a number in Hollywood this year! In the latest episode of More to the Story with Markette Sheppard, we highlight the entertainment industry’s inspiring shift towards veteran actresses.
In an industry often criticized for its ageism, a remarkable change is taking place as Hollywood embraces seasoned actresses like never before. This episode delves into the unexpected Oscar nominations of Pamela Anderson (57) and Demi Moore (62), and Jamie Lee Curtis (66) who are challenging traditional narratives about aging in entertainment.
Discover how these iconic figures, some previously known more for their looks than acting prowess, are just now being recognized for their artistic merit after decades in the industry. The discussion extends to Zoe Saldana, whose touching story of persistence at age 46, showcases how close she came to abandoning her career before landing a life-changing role in Emilia Perez.
The episode wraps with binge-worthy TV recommendations by listeners from across the USA: Caroyln Leigh of Tennessee, a doctor-turned-voice actor, and Duke Muse (@itsdukemann), a New Jersey transplant in LA. The two share their perspectives on popular shows like The Neighborhood, Squid Game 2, and The Madness. Send me a DM on Instagram @markettesheppard to share your guest review for a future episode!
