: 2024 marked a milestone as 54% of top-grossing films featured a woman or girl in a lead or co-lead role. However, this equality is still disproportionately skewed toward younger women; only eight of 2024's most popular films featured a woman aged 45 or older in a leading role.
Kidman is perhaps the most prolific example. After turning 40, she produced and starred in Big Little Lies , a show about the messy, violent, passionate lives of wealthy mothers in their late 40s. She then pushed the envelope further with Babygirl (2024), a erotic thriller where her character, a powerful CEO in her 50s, engages in a sadomasochistic affair with a younger intern. Kidman is not playing "age appropriate" roles; she is playing powerful roles where age is merely a texture. free milf porn gallery
