I've had great agents and a manager, but I'm 49: Samantha Morton's take on ageism in Hollywood

British actress Samantha Morton has spoken out about facing age discrimination in Hollywood, revealing she hasn’t worked in over a year since filming Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey'. Despite having strong agents and a manager, she attributes this lack of work to her age, which she says has become a barrier in the industry. Morton emphasized that while she believes she is a talented actress, the dynamics of the industry have changed significantly, making it harder for older actors to find roles. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with Nolan but acknowledged the challenges she faces due to her age. Morton has had a successful career, including a Golden Globe win and a BAFTA Fellowship, and has been nominated for two Oscars.
