The star of Nine Yards Rosanna Arquette has attacked Hollywood bosses for ignoring gorgeous mature women and turning little girls into objects of sexual desire of men.
The sister of film stars Patricia, David and Alexis Arquette is furious about the facts that middle-aged actresses have to quit their careers or act in the second-rank movies.
The 45 year-old said: "Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. They want to f**k them, and that's all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way. But most men are not that evolved. I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age."
