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).

I don't know these women's ages off the top of my head, but I know who they are. Everybody's heard of them, so when choosing the cast nobody needs to look at their IMDB profile. And these are women that got famous when they were younger.

Actually I think that it is more likely that the accusation was dismissed for the opposite reason:
