I wonder if they will bring back that old lady that was in their class?

In a guest column for the Hollywood Reporter, Carteris, 55, is pushing lawmakers to pass legislation that would remove actors’ ages from casting websites like IMdB and StudioSystem.

“It is time to stop the ageism that permeates Hollywood’s casting process,” she writes. “This problem exists for all performers, but most distinctly for women. Performers create characters and often employ illusion to do so. That’s acting.”

Carteris says that if the casting websites that studios use today existed back in 1990, she never would’ve had the chance to earn her role on Beverly Hills, 90210. Though she was 29 at the time, Carteris was asked to audition and won the role of 16-year-old Andrea Zuckerman.

“What worries me is that my fellow actors are not being afforded the same opportunities today – actors who are trying to make a living and find their big break,” she says. “They face blatant age discrimination every day as websites routinely used for casting talent … force birthdates and ages on casting decision-makers without their even realizing it.”
