18 Actresses Accused of Being Too Old or Too Fat, From Mindy Kaling to Emma Thompson (Photos)
Hollywood has a special knack for making people feel far from perfect and actresses are no exception. Here are 14 gorgeous women who have been told they were either too fat or too old to play a certain role.

Maggie Gyllenhaal “Sherrybaby” star, Maggie Gyllenhaal was turned down for a role because she was “too old” to play the love interest for a 55-year-old man. She was 37 at the time. “It was astonishing to me,” the actress told TheWrap. “It made me feel bad, and then it made me feel angry, and then it made me laugh.”

Mary Elizabeth Winstead “Fargo” actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead recently revealed that not all her auditions have gone so smoothly during her career. Winstead told TheWrap about an audition several years ago in which a director — one who had apparently never encountered a normal, healthy human being before — accused the North Carolina-born actress of eating too much Southern fried food.

Endeavor Content’s Kristen Figeroid Exits as Film Sales Team Heads Back to WME (Exclusive)

Endeavor Content’s Kristen Figeroid Exits as Film Sales Team Heads Back to WME (Exclusive)
Endeavor Content senior vice president Kristen Figeroid has exited the agency as others in the unit’s sales and distribution unit prepare to head back to WME, sources close to the situation told Variety.

Figeroid joined Endeavor Content in 2018 as senior VP of sales and distribution. Her departure last week was amicable, one insider noted, and the executive is exploring a return to working with boutique and international-focused film finance and sales agencies.

The film sales team at Endeavor Content, meanwhile, is set for a return to WME in the wake of the agreement the agency signed earlier this year with the Writers Guild of America. The deal that settled a nearly two-year standoff over TV and film packaging also requires them to divest themselves of 80% of Endeavor Content by year’s end, while talent agency packaging of TV series and film projects will mostly cease to be as of June 30, 2022.

Hollywood Wanted to Go Back to Business as Usual. The Delta Variant Had Other Plans

Hollywood Wanted to Go Back to Business as Usual. The Delta Variant Had Other Plans
On Monday night, as the sun set in New York City, 200 people gathered at the Directors Guild of America screening room to watch Ryan Murphy’s “Impeachment: American Crime Story” before heading to an exclusive dinner at The Pool restaurant.

It was a star-studded affair, bringing out the likes of Beanie Feldstein, producer Monica Lewinsky, and CAA super-agent Bryan Lourd, and aside from the ubiquity of masks over easily recognizable faces, and socially distanced seating at the after-party, it almost seemed as though Hollywood was lurching back toward a pre-pandemic sense of normalcy. But there were still stark reminders that coronavirus remains stubbornly present more than a year after it brought life to a standstill. The A-list guests, for instance, had to show proof of full vaccination or a negative Covid test to enter the screening.

“We asked people to come a little earlier than usual to allow for time for check-in.

‘The Card Counter’ Trailer: Oscar Isaac Seeks Vengeance in Paul Schrader’s New Thriller

‘The Card Counter’ Trailer: Oscar Isaac Seeks Vengeance in Paul Schrader’s New Thriller
Paul Schrader is back with a vengeance in the official trailer for “The Card Counter,” his feature directorial follow-up to “First Reformed.” Schrader’s latest finds Oscar Isaac sinking his teeth into the kind of tormented male protagonist role that Schrader has perfected in the likes of “Raging Bull,” “Taxi Driver,” and more. Anticipation for “The Card Counter” is high not only because of the cast but also because Schrader is coming off his first screenwriting Oscar nomination for “First Reformed.”

The official synopsis for “The Card Counter” from Focus Features reads: “Redemption is the long game in Paul Schrader’s ‘The Card Counter.’ Told with Schrader’s trademark cinematic intensity, the revenge thriller tells the story of an ex-military interrogator turned gambler haunted by the ghosts of his past decisions, and features riveting performances from stars Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe.

Venice Film Festival Chief Alberto Barbera On Hollywood’s Lido Return, Oscar Prospects & New Covid Protocols

Venice Film Festival Chief Alberto Barbera On Hollywood’s Lido Return, Oscar Prospects & New Covid Protocols
Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera was feeling upbeat when we caught up with him this evening following today’s reveal of a tantalizing lineup for the 78th edition. Notably, after largely sitting out last year, the studios are back with titles from Universal, Warner Bros and Disney (via 20th Century) as is Netflix, and Barbera said they were all enthusiastic about returning to the Lido. He also expects many more people than last year and “a lot of guests and talent from the U.S.”

That’s not to say 2020 was lacking in quality or excitement. Venice last year was the first international gathering for the industry since the beginning of the pandemic, and it set a high bar for how to organize a festival during a global health crisis. It also introduced the world to Chloe Zhao’s eventual Best Picture Oscar winner, Nomadland. Over the past decade,
