Seems getting your kit off isn't restricted to the young actresses! Four women in their 50s, two of them former soap stars and two from the talk show, Loose Women, have posed nude in protest, upset because there are so few good roles for women as they age. One of them is former Corrie star, Beverly Callard, who played Liz McDonald. Now, the way I see it, Bev had a great role but gave it up. It was her choice to leave Coronation Street, after all. I suppose she's finding it difficult to get another good role and that's probably the reason she participated.
Bev says she's less confident as she gets older because, these days, it seems like women over 35 are having less opportunities, much less women in their 40s and 50s. There are good parts but sometimes they have to be self-created and produced like the recent Scott and Bailey. It seems like the soaps are still writing for women of all ages but still focus on the younger women.
What do you think? Are they right?
