How to Succeed in the Entertainment Industry? D.I.Y!

I've been hearing some depressing facts from the industry, lately. So I thought I'd share them with you.

Apparently, if you are over the age of 28, whether female or male (but let's be honest, especially if you're a lady-friend), the current movie/TV/Theater industry couldn't be more over you.

The word on the street is that if you are over 28 and you haven't "cracked" it yet, then there must be something wrong with you. And, just to brighten your day it seems that agents, CD's and producers these days are only really looking for new tweens (Robert Patinson, Kristen Stewart, etc) to invest in - and only tweens.

Great post, Angela. It's always inspiring to be reminded of how many of our favorite works were the result of performers owning their power & taking the bull by the horns.

I agree with you, these days agents are more interested in making young teens into famous celebrities, instead of putting out there their talent.
It's sad to see 28+ year old people with talent going being sent to the trash can, because the casting directors rather see comething concrete in a piece of paper, celebrity status.

I'm 20 years old now, and i'm in a doubt, if i should go to Hollywood try out my luck, or go to college instead. ( If i go to College i'll get out at 25, a bit old for Hollywood standards, but if go right the way at the age of 20 i might regreat not improving my education). This sucks.
