Older people underrepresented in top US films study says
A USC analysis of 2015’s 100 top films finds only 11 percent of speaking characters are age 60 or older and merely 10 leads or co leads are aged 60 plus. Women aged 60 plus are especially rare among leads, with only three of ten older leads being female. The report notes ageism pervades dialogue and limited tech portrayal, while most older characters hold jobs and few show health issues or mobility aids.
