Naomi Watts, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock and Annette Bening are just a few of the actresses who are happy about the roles they are getting after turning 40. Many of these actresses in Hollywood are starting to produce their own films, such as Nicole Kidman, and get to play new roles. Also, studios are paying attention to who is buying tickets these days in the movie theaters: women older than 40 are buying 55 percent of the tickets sold.

Naomi Watts, 42, said, “There was a time where people weren’t interested in female-driven dramas. But Sandra Bullock winning … had an effect, and we’re in a good place right now. My career is, in a way, better than ever. When you’re over 40 that’s not supposed to be the case, but it is.”
