"You Quiz on the Block" Meryl Streep opened up about concerns about her career.
On the 15th broadcast of tvN "You Quiz on the Block" (hereafter "You Quiz"), the stars of the film "The Devil Wears Prada 2", Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, appeared.
That day Yu Jae-seok asked, "I heard you thought your career was over at 40?" Meryl Streep said, "In our industry, female actors are considered attractive only until 40 and after that they are seen as finished. Once you pass 40, you were only used as witches, villains, or bizarre characters," she revealed.
She went on, "I was offered a witch role three times in a row. I sensed it then. There are long-standing prejudices in the industry against actresses. It is harsh to say out loud, but the idea is that actresses are attractive only until 40 and after that they're done. When someone turns 40 they consider them finished and don't know how to utilize the actor," she pointed out.
Meryl Streep added, "In fact, I often thought my career was over. Actors are always temporarily unemployed each time they finish a project."
Asked how she overcame the crisis, Meryl Streep said, "I didn't box myself in. You don't need to feel that life collapses because you didn't achieve a goal," and added, "We are lucky just to be here now," drawing attention.
