Despite progress, challenges remain. The industry still struggles with how to portray aging in a realistic way.
The "Baby Face" Bias: There is a growing pressure for older actresses to maintain a youthful appearance through cosmetic procedures, creating a paradox where they are expected to play "older" but look "younger." This creates a disconnect between the actress and the audience, who may struggle to see their own aging process reflected on screen.

Seeing mature women engage in relationships with younger men, or simply existing independently of a romantic partner, remains a frontier that needs more exploration.
