The 60s is a difficult age for Hollywood actresses. There are many who stop receiving calls from the industry over the years. An example is Demi Moore, who stated in an interview that the problem of having a shortage of roles for her came after blowing out the 44 candles: "It's been a few years of continuous challenge, almost to the point of feeling like they didn't know what to do." do with me. I'm not 20 or 30 anymore". Because of this, Julianne Moore criticizes being told a woman ages well because she considers it to be an "utterly s*xist" expression, in that it is often used to describe women less often than men.
"There is so much judgment inherent in the term 'aging well'...'," he commented in an interview for As If magazine, "is there a bad way to age? We have no choice, of course. No one can control aging, so it's not a positive or a negative, it just is," he added.
The Oscar winner in 2015 for Siempre Alice (a film that you can catch up on Filmin and in which she plays a woman suffering from Alzheimer's), continued to defend that aging "is part of the human condition. So why do we always talk about of it as if it were something we have control over?"
In addition, to support her argument, she quoted Helen Mirrer, a 75-year-old actress who said a phrase that Moore loves: "Aging is a requirement of life: either you grow old or you die young."
Finally, Julianne Moore spoke about her views on what aging should look like: "As kids, we're given a narrative that we're still growing up in school, maybe we'll go to college, and then after we're done, the The idea of growth may be over," she recounted, "but, we have this whole life left to live. How do we continue to challenge ourselves, be interested, learn new things, be more useful to other people, be the person their friends and family members need or want? How do we continue to evolve? How do we navigate life to have even deeper experiences?", aspects on which we must continue to work, according to the actress.
