A 40 year old actress has sued IMDB for revealing her age. As some of you know, I'm an employment litigation attorney. Most discrimination lawsuits are bogus but the facts are pretty compelling, although they reflect "societal discrimination":
Women over 40 make up 24.3 percent of the U.S. population, the 2010 census found. In comparison, union casting analysis show actresses over 40 years old get 12.5 percent of roles for television and film. Men of that age are also about a quarter of the population but nearly equal their ranks in casting.
