Demi Moore - Crusader


So Demi has had it huh? I guess she just needs to look fondly back at her Oscar-worthy work in Striptease and Charlie’s Angels and wonder why all of the good roles for older women go to that bitch Judy Dench. Here is the article from azcentral.com:

Demi Moore has slammed Hollywood for the lack of roles available to older actresses.

The 44-year-old star has blasted filmmakers for making women believe their careers are over once they turn 40.

She fumed to Britain's OK! magazine: "For many female actors who turn 40 it means the end of their career, its time to retire. There aren't that many good roles for women over 40.


"A lot of them don't have much substance, other than being someone's mother or wife. If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30 it is a problem."

The 'Bobby' actress - who is married to 28-year-old Ashton Kutcher - has urged middle-aged actresses to prove their big screen abilities to the major studios.

Demi said: "We all have more to give. We can't just bend over and wait for something to happen. We have to say, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!' "

You know, now that you think about it, Demi has the potential to be the next Gloria Steinem, or maybe the next self-important psuedo-celebrity to open their pie-hole to complain about how hard it is to be them. She should just shut the hell up, thank her plastic surgeon for keeping her relevant, and have money fights with Ashton before she gives him a glass of milk and puts him to bed.

So she's looking to get away from pornos where bending is required and go for a remake of Network?? If she wasn't so specific it might be easier to comply with her demands to deny roles to older woman that don't have anything to do with being a wife, a mother, a matriarch, a queen, a witch, a secret agent, a spider...but yeah she's right, all the roles are exactly the same for women over the age of 40. Believe it or not, most of them are the roles of WOMEN OVER THE AGE OF 40! Maybe she's just upset that she didn't get Dakota Fanning's part?

There's always the role of crime-fighting novelist in the Murder She Wrote remake. That's a kick ass woman and that's like two 40's on top of each other... not like that, though.

Care Bear, thank you so much for the visual of Angela Lansbury and Judi Dench. I so appreciate it.

Although Angela Lansbury and Judi Dench is wholly unacceptable, a Salma Hayek/Demi Moore "collaboration" could be interesting...I'm just thinking out loud here.
