Or Nicole Kidman.) Casting either historically too-old or age appropriate men for all the male roles while casting decidedly younger for all female roles feels like a choice, not a requirement of the script. It’s not like there’s a lack of talented, award-worthy actresses over 40 who could go toe to toe with Gary Oldman onscreen. To be honest, we have a difficult time disagreeing with any of this. Multitude of female actors who would be great. Nicole Kidman is a great character actor, cares most about director & Fincher fits. Outrageous!! Robin Wright, Jodi Foster (worked w/ Fincher in Panic Room), Helen Hunt Julianne Moore, Laura Linney. I miss the late 70’s when you had actresses who didn’t look like eternal teenagers playing adults – Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Mary Steenburgen, Shelly Duvall etc.

The television and movie industry perpetuates and thrives on sexism, despite wanting to give the appearance of having evolved on the issue. Lots of unattractive out of shape men (white) sharing the screen with young, outwardly perfect, 1 dimensional women. Is like if age is allowed to put wrinkles on our face and locks on our hearts and sexuality
If we fall in love we are categorize as foolish (hombre verde) We are supposed to be invisible to a society that praises bodies and looks.
Charlayne Woodard was 65 when they cast her as Samuel L Jackson’s MOM in Glassīut they didn’t think this would confuse people
Never mind that was the same age difference she had with Spader in Secretary. I guess in the next Hollywood movie about politics, Janet Yellen will be played by Margot Robbie or Jennifer Lawrence.Īt 37, Maggie Gyllenhaal was told she was too old to play the love interest to a 55 year old.

Gary Oldman, who plays Mankiewicz, is 62. In the David Fincher movie Mank, she is played by a 33 year old actress. Mankiewicz's wife, Sara, was born in 1897, the same year as her husband. The two of them had been married since 1920 (which means had she really been 33 in 1940, when the film largely takes place, she would have been 13 when she got married.) “We don’t feel invisible,” Nunn tweeted. That works in part because Mankiewicz was, famously, an alcoholic whose dangerously excessive drinking made him look decades older than he was, and ultimately killed him at age 55.īut as noted by writer Emily Nunn, Mank’s wife, who in real life was the exact same age, is played by 33 year old Tuppence Middleton. Mankiewicz and director Orson Welles over the writing credits for “Citizen Kane,” stars 62-year-old Gary Oldman as Mankiewicz, who in reality was only 43.

David Fincher’s period drama “Mank” shines a light on the personal and professional drama of Hollywood’s golden age, but as a lot of women pointed out after it debuted over the weekend on Netflix, it also inadvertently shined a light on Hollywood’s enduring problems with sexist and ageist casting decisions.
