Jessica Chastain has called for more leading roles for older actresses like Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon.
The Interstellar star told Glamour: "I'm really, really supportive of women in Hollywood. I love Meryl Streep. She's such an incredible actress."
She continued: "But I feel like she's the only one in her age group who gets those parts. I'd like to see Jessica Lange in a movie again, you know? Or Susan Sarandon.
"Why isn't Viola Davis a lead in a film? She's one of the greatest actresses alive. And where are the Asian actors and actresses? I'm not saying we don't want movies about men, I'm just saying, come on, all the men I know love women!"
She concluded: "So let's also have some stories about these women. Let's write something for them, guys – and let's make room for women writers too."
