You've probably heard the report that 78 year old Harrison Ford has suffered a shoulder injury prepping for a scene in the as yet untitled Indiana Jones 5. We've already heard his age mentioned in a joking manner around the web but we're not going to join in the ageism of that. We would just like to point out that if Harrison Ford is going to do this at 79 (his birthday is in a couple of weeks) why can't actresses get action roles at that age? Well, okay, they let Helen Mirren do it a couple of times but we can never have enough actressy action and James Cameron takes decades off between movies.
Herewith a list of women who are similar age to Harrison Ford who we'd love to see in an action flick. Sorry not sorry...
- Joanna Cassidy (75) still popping up on TV and always fun to watch. Plus she has classic Harrions Ford sci-fi on her resume already
- Goldie Hawn (75) nobody wants The Christmas Chronicles to be her last film!
- Jacqueline Bissett (76) still gorgeous. Why not a comeback?
- Wai Ching Ho (77) already proved she could do action scenes with aplomb in Daredevil
- Blythe Danner (78) you know she's versatile with genre
- Leslie Uggams (78) because that bit in the Deadpool franchise is not enough
- Holland Taylor (78) still so fabulous and funny. Plus authoritative!
- Faye Dunaway (80) she has rage she needs to work out
- Tina Turner (81) somebody coax her out of retirement with a role as good as "Auntie Entity" again
- Jane Fonda (83) still has the body and fierceness for it!
Just thinking out loud.
