The entertainment and cinema industry is a multi-billion-dollar market that influences popular culture and shapes societal attitudes. Women have always played a vital role in the industry, both on and off screen. However, as they age, they often find themselves marginalized, typecast, or excluded from leading roles. According to a study by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, women over 40 are severely underrepresented in film and television, making up only 2.5% of leading actors in the top 100 grossing films of 2019.
