Dunaway blasts 'anti-female' Hollywood
Veteran actress Faye Dunaway has slammed Hollywood as sexist and ageist, because she is no longer cast as a leading lady.
The Oscar-winning 63-year-old, who starred in classic movies in the 1960s and 1970s including Bonnie and Clyde, Little Big Man and Network, is angry movie bosses rarely portray older women as sexual beings.
Dunaway is particularly fed-up that actors around her age, like Jack Nicholson - whose love interest she played in 1974's Chinatown - get to bed much younger women in movies.
She says: "I am furious that they think I'm too old to play the onscreen love interest of guys like Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood.
"Why should I play sisters and mothers while guys like Jack and Clint, who are older than me, have onscreen lovers half their age?"
