Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, winner of a Golden Globe and Oscar nominee, told TheWrap she was recently turned down for a role because of her age.
She said, "there are things that are really disappointing about being an actress in Hollywood."
One of those disappointments is the double-standard of age; the role she recently missed out on went to a younger actress.
Gyllenhaal was told at 37-years-of-age, she was too gold to play the love interest of a 55-year-old man.
She found the dismissal ?astonishing.???
