I'm sure that she has many problems, including the small percentage of roles for women of Asian descent. The point for this trial was to show if she actually lost jobs because of her actual age being shown:

After IMDb publicly disclosed Hoang’s age, her work slowed. (7/26/2012 HoangDep. 221:2-222:3.) She received half as many roles than before IMDb posted her age in2008. (8/7/2012 Hoang Dep. at 464:6-465:1; Kolkowitz Dep. at 47:14-25.) In a film called Consequences , for example, the casting director initially hired Hoang but then rejected her as too old after seeing Hoang’s age on IMDb. (7/26/2012 Hoang Dep.196:19-198:15.) On another project, the casting director rejected Hoang because the director was “concerned about the age range”. And for another film, the casting director rejected Hoang shortly after Hoang provided the director with a link to her IMDb profile.(7/26/2012 Hoang Dep. at 213:4-214:16, 216:6-218:24.) Finally, Hoang lost a role to another actress whose age is not revealed on IMDb. (Hoang Decl. at ¶ 8.)
