Isabella Rossellini on being fired by Lancome for being too old.  &quot;In their defence, they kept me till I was 42. It&#x27;s a tradition in cosmetics, in fashion. If you ask any woman, even a young woman, they&#x27;re resentful of it. Because when you&#x27;re twenty you know that one day you&#x27;re going to be forty or fifty. And the fact that beauty is never represented at those ages ... it&#x27;s offensive and scary. If you&#x27;re young, it&#x27;s scary. If you&#x27;re old, it&#x27;s offensive. So all the way through it&#x27;s bad news.&quot;
