The 1980s and 1990s saw a decline in the representation of mature women in leading roles. The industry perpetuated ageist and sexist stereotypes, often relegating women over 40 to supporting roles or typecasting them as older, wiser, and less desirable. This era saw the rise of youth-oriented films, and mature women were largely absent from the big screen.
