The Anne Hathaway Situation Is More Disturbing Than You Think...

One second of Anne Hathaway's face in the Odyssey trailer broke the internet, and the conversation that followed was about so much more than one actress and one procedure.

This is the full story of what Hollywood has been demanding from women's faces for decades. The impossible standard of staying young while delivering emotionally raw performances.

Anne Hathaway was offered Botox at 23. A cinematographer refused to film Jamie Lee Curtis because of her eyes at 25. Olivia Wilde was told she was too old at 28. Maggie Gyllenhaal was told she was too old at 37. This is by no means a coincidence, and it has been a recurring problem for a very long time.
