Analysis: Hollywood more likely to cast a man named Chris or talking animal than a woman over 60

Actress EMMA THOMPSON on Hollywood not casting older women in leading roles: "Women are half the population and we get older. So where are the stories about us? The older we get, the more interesting we are." A new analysis by a British anti-ageism campaign finds that the film industry's top-grossing movies are more likely to feature a male lead named Chris, or even a talking animal, than a woman over the age of 60, drawing renewed calls for Hollywood to address what advocates describe as a pervasive culture of age-based discrimination.
