Not a good analogy. Sports doesn't have anything to do with looks. If a woman loses her acting ability after 40, she should get out of the business.

Actually, it's quite an appropriate analogy. Each is valued for his or her skills -- and in acting, looks are a big part of the package. In basketball, for example, being preternaturally tall is pretty much a requirement and that just ain't fair to men of average height, is it?

Personally, when I watch movies, I care more about the story, the talent, etc., than what the actors and actresses look like.

Although you make some good points about the acting profession, gotta respectfully disagree on the basketball thing. Men and women of average height make great point guards. With lots of hard work and tenacity, my 5'6" daughter was one of them:

Agree story, production and presentation are ahead of eye candy male or female.

Colin Ferrel has his section in my DVD collection though.

As I posted earlier alot of older actors are now in the "Christian made for TV movies" and those are cool too.
