Comments on: Interview with Colette Burson, co-creator of Hung http://womenandhollywood.com/2009/07/30/interview-with-colette-burson-co-creator-of-hung/ from a feminist perspective Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:23:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: grrljock http://womenandhollywood.com/2009/07/30/interview-with-colette-burson-co-creator-of-hung/comment-page-1/#comment-3939 grrljock Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:33:01 +0000 http://womenandhollywood.com/?p=3268#comment-3939 So what do you make of Colette Burson's remark, as quoted in the NYT article about Anne Heche? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/02/magazine/02heche-t.html?ref=magazine "...“We auditioned a lot of people,” says Colette Burson, the co-creator of “Hung.” “It is incredibly difficult to find beautiful, talented, funny women over 35.” The hardest part may be getting them to admit they’re over 35, but Heche doesn’t lie about her age..." Is this just a throwaway remark that's used of context? A joke? Or is it a matter of auditioning actors not being truthful about their age? In any case, this just makes me want to pull out my hair, yet again. So what do you make of Colette Burson’s remark, as quoted in the NYT article about Anne Heche?
