How have older women, those 60 or older, been depicted in American feature films? Focusing on women nominated for an Oscar and appearing in a feature film at the age of 60 or older, changes and similarities in portrayals of physical and psychic characteristics are examined in a sampling of films from 1929 to 1998.
