Veteran actress Eva Mattes criticizes the film industry's obsession with youth and lack of diverse roles for older women. Mattes believes there's a "youth cult" that limits opportunities for actresses her age, often relegating them to mother or grandmother roles, while older women's compelling life stories are underrepresented.
