“Stop writing about my age!”
Actress Jennifer Jason Leigh wants reporters to stop writing about her age - because it’s stopping her from landing good roles.
The 45-year-old believes the more people know about actors and actresses, the harder it becomes for them to take on different characters - particularly as they get older.
She explains, “I don’t think your career is over when you turn 40, but it doesn’t help when people’s ages are constantly written about. I think the more you demystify someone, the harder it is to believe they are someone else.”

yeah.. Act your age dummy and act well. Betty Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, and Helen Mirren have had a tough hell of a life trying hide their age haha.
