Actors Demand More On-Screen Representation for Women 45+

The entertainment industry has known ageism and sexism issues. A group of actors are calling for gender and age parity in film and TV.

We wish there was the same kind of push in the U.S.

Women like Cassidy Hutchinson are turning out to be the unrelentingly brave truth-tellers and heroes. Her new book reveals more of her gutsiness.

When your kid leaves for college, it’s not the end of anything. It’s the beginning of a long, tortured process that may or may not lead to an empty nest.
