Many Hollywood celebrities claim that they have difficulty to receive roles after they reach a certain age.
WGA, Writers Guild of America, militate for the right of actors to have their birth dates removed from the database of the IMDB web site, in their attempt to reduce discrimination based on age.
” The association has a contract with IMDB and provides details about movies to IMDB but not details about the age of the actors. We have already addressed our concern to IMDB regarding this issue” said a spokesman of WGA.
Many Hollywood celebrities claim that they face difficulty in getting new roles from the moment their youth does not longer helps them, especially if they are not Box Office Stars.
And because of IMDB ( the internet movie database ) their birth dates are public and available to everyone, which does not make actors happy, and this isn’t a concern to the IMDB officials, because, they say ” our clients got used to get complete and correct biographical details about actors”.
