Joely Richardson on her career post 50: ‘No one wanted me’

Actress Joely Richardson has opened up about ageism in Hollywood and how she had to pivot to start getting work again. She was talking about all the projects she’s currently involved in, including Netflix’s The Gentlemen and One Day. She also has Disney+’s Renegade Nell. The actress noticed a change after she turned 50, which she shared on ITV‘s This Morning, reports deadline.com. She recalled that when her agent “retired young to be with her mom,” she was looking for a new agent and didn’t find much luck. “I went to get another agent, and it was like no one wanted me,” she said. “And so, even though I had Golden Globe nominations, and blah, blah, blah, zero people wanted a woman over 50.” Richardson called being on the Ryan Murphy show a “dream” (IANS)
