This phenomenon was famously analyzed by film critic Molly Haskell in her seminal work From Reverence to Rape . She noted that while men were allowed to age into authority (the silver fox), women were forced to age into obscurity.

There is a peculiar moment in the life of a female actor, often timed with cruel precision around her 40th birthday. It is not marked by a party, but by a silence. The scripts stop arriving. The ingenue roles, once a river, dry to a trickle. The leading man she once sparred with now plays her ex-husband, then her father, then a ghost in a single scene. She is offered the “sassy grandmother,” the “heartbroken widow,” or the “political foil”—walking archetypes with no interiority. BlackedRaw.24.07.29.Holly.Hotwife.Cheating.MILF...
