'OITNB' Actress Told She's Too Old to Play an Older Man's Wife
by EG
Jamie Denbo is speaking out against sexist age restrictions in Hollywood.
The actress, known for her role as Ginsberg on Orange is the New Black, posted a series of tweets Wednesday after she was told she was past the age limit for a role.
“I was just informed that at the age of 43, I am TOO OLD to play the wife of a 57 year old,” Denbo wrote, following it up with, “Oh, the characters also have an 18 year-old daughter. I am TOO OLD to be the mother of an 18 year-old.”
The actor in question, whom Denbo doesn’t name, is already cast — and she hasn’t missed the fact that the request for his onscreen wife’s age limit doesn’t match his real-life situation.
