You apparently don't watch too many movies, or know much about the people in them. Especially in the last 20 years or so. Catherine Zeta Jones doesn't seem to have any trouble getting acting jobs. Neither does Halle Berry, Courtney Cox, Debra Messing, Elizabeth Hurley, Helen Hunt, Jennifer Aniston, Jeri Ryan, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Rachel Weisz, Rene Russo, Renée Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock (one of the highest paid actors in the world most years), Uma Thurman, Virginia Madsen, or Helen Mirren. And yet, all are at least 40 (Helen Mirren is nearly 70). None of them look anywhere near their true age, especially when made up for the camera.
Makeup artists are geniuses. They can make teenagers look 90, and they can make 40 year olds look 20 (or like teenagers). They can certain make a 40 year old look 40. (Except, of course, that as the baby boomers get older, they don't
want 40 year olds to look 40, they want 40 year olds to look 20. Which, BTW, this woman easily can.)
The reason this womand can't get jobs acting is because she doesn't know the right people, and has no history of being in profitable movies. It's not nothing to do with being 40 and looking 30 (or looking 40, this is a golden age for older actresses looking for roles close to their actual age).

And I'll bet that contract specifically requires her to provide
accurate information, and specifically prohibits her from lying. So it was
her who breached the contract first, then.
