How old is Merle Streep? I would think she could have good roles. Cher did well enough after 40 --- and is Demi Moore still with the young guy? I'm sure her career isn't hurting.
Meryl Streep is 52 or 53.
Demi Moore is still with Ashton Kutcher (kid on that 70s show)I believe but I think she said they were not getting hitched.
There are pleanty of talented actresses over 40 who work regularly.
Hell, Goldie Hawn is almost 60 and no great talent yet stays busy.
Some of these ageing starlets just refuse to age gracefully imho.
