Ari Zucker (Nicole) is 43 years old, and although she is still considered young, that is "over the hill" in some cases. (My doctor told me the other day that 60 - 80 is now considered middle age, but I digress.) In the real world where there is not supposed to be age discrimination, it DOES happen. Also, in the real world, there are thousands, if not more, still striking 43 year-old actresses looking for a big break. Except in rare cases, I don't think a woman that age is going to make it BIG if she hasn't already done it. I don't think even Bette Davis or Joan Crawford or others of their generation could have become "stars" at that age.
