Not sure how relatable many women will find Anne’s comments, considering that she is in active demand as both actress & face/body of fashion brands, but this ageism has existed for decades & sadly continues to thrive, rather than diminishes.

I had a conversation about this after my husband & I had the pleasure of watching Lyonesse at Harold Pinter theatre - I wrote about it on my Substack earlier this week. We can blame society & structures, but in part we are also to blame, fuelling for example the beauty industry where now 20 year olds are fearful of ageing & using Botox. It’s a complex conversation that needs to be had visibly & publicly & includes different generations of women because really it impacts us all
