Cate Blanchett spoke sincerely about age and sexism in Hollywood,

The Black bag The star told Business Insider In a recent chat, it became when she entered the industry actresses, typically only remained popular or sought about about five years before their careers began to fall.

“The shelf life of the actresses when I first came on stage was about five years old,” she said.

But now, “I think female producers have more agencies,” Blanchett noted. “There are more women in the writing room, and the more diverse industry is at the basic level when things are developed, the more exciting it is for the audience.”

The two-time Academy Award winner noted that “Ageism” and “Sexism” are found in all industries, but because Hollywood is a “very public-facing industry”, these issues are especially prominent.

Earlier in an interview with Sunday Times In March 2024, Blanchett talked about growing older and said she doesn’t find aging at all “confronting.”

“Because it’s like when you stumble over a photo of a holiday when you were 16 years old or one of my husband and me when we got married. It doesn’t produce regret or shame,” she detailed. “Rather a recognition of the joy of the experience or a painful moment.”

“I’m transported right back,” Blanchett added.
