Industry experts say Hollywood still has a long way to go in breaking down age barriers, both in employment and creative content. Writer-producer Catherine Clinch joked in a new WrapPRO roundtable that the “aging audience” is everybody, and all in that category should be grateful because “the alternative kind of sucks.” Still, despite having plenty of horror stories to tell about age discrimination in Hollywood, a panel of industry players agreed that technology and digital entertainment are breaking down demographic barriers as consumers easily surf content across multiple platforms. Tech also may play an important role in schooling Hollywood not to dismiss the power of the over-50 audience. On the panel, moderated by TheWrap’s Diane Haithman, Clinch said older audiences have embraced the tech revolution and no longer fit the advertisers’ credo that brand loyalty keeps the 50-plus audience from being a prime demographic to try — read: buy — something new.

The Writers Guild of America West is demanding that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expand its new best picture rules to include mandates against age discrimination.
In an open letter posted on the WGA West site, the guild’s Career Longevity Committee urged the Academy to revise the new rules, which were issued Sept. 8 to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience. Those included racial and ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+ and people with cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing.
“Conspicuously missing was any reference to age,” said the letter, written by committee chair Catherine Clinch. “For decades, members of the Writers Guild of America have lived under the burden of this painful reality – that older writers are the only diversity category that it is socially- acceptable to discriminate against. Hollywood...

Saying that the entertainment industry is — and long has been — “operating in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act,” Catherine Clinch, chair of the WGA West’s Career Longevity Committee, has penned a scathing open letter to the industry on behalf of her committee demanding “inclusion and equity” for older writers.
“It is a violation of Federal law to discriminate against anyone on the basis of age. Yet, this has become standard operational procedure in Hollywood,” she wrote. “We are no longer willing to be silent co-dependents to the discriminatory practices in the entertainment industry. We demand inclusion and equity as our moral right. More important, we demand inclusion and equity as our legal right.”
To address the age-old issue of age discrimination, her committee is demanding “the elimination of the ‘approved writer lists’ that are maintained by the networks and studios, because they perpetuate discrimination of all protected...
