The actress, who plays Lucille Ball in 'Being the Ricardos', is confident that the landscape for adult actresses is changing.
Nicole Kidman is one of the actresses in the Hollywood industry who is proud of her age and does not remain silent in the face of the discrimination that is suffered daily, especially women, when she turns over 40 years old, as she made it known in her speech at the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
This time she returned to the fray and assured that thanks to her interpretation of the comedian and actress Lucille Ball in her most recent film Being the Ricardos, she was able to reflect and identify more with her theme. In an interview with Dujour, via People, she admitted that as an adult it is more difficult to get a role, as she experiences greater rejection.
“There is a consensus in the industry that as an actress, at 40, you are done. I've never sat in a chair and heard someone say, 'You're past your due date,' but I've experienced times when you're being rejected and the door is closed to you. That's definitely changing and moving, but that's what Being the Ricardos is about,” she added.
The 54-year-old actress trusted that the panorama has changed compared to how it was some time ago because there are more opportunities and she specifically remembered a part of the film directed by Aaron Sorkin.
“There's a scene where they say, 'You're 39 years old, and that's it. It's over for you.' I know that feeling. In a way I had it. And it was like 'ok'. When television suddenly opened a door for her, it also opened a door for me,” she recently told Today.
Being the Ricardos has nominations for the upcoming Golden Globes and Critic's Choice Awards. The cast is completed by Javier Bardem, J.K. Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, Clark Gregg, Robert Pine, Linda Lavin, Christopher Denham, Jake Lacy, Nelson Franklin and John Rubinstein.
