It was remarkable during the Cannes Film Festival that a number of white-haired stars appeared, such as American Andy McDowell and her compatriot Jodie Foster, contrary to the practice of actresses who usually avoid leaving their hair as it is in their looks and on the red carpets.
L'Oréal cosmetics star, American model and actress Andy McDowell proudly maintained her curly gray hair on her first ascent of the steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
And last February, the 63-year-old star, who was distinguished in the past by her shiny black hair, justified her failure to hide its current color by wanting her look to be natural, inspired by the stone phase during the pandemic, she said to a TV program presented by actress Drew Barrymore.
Also on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival, the American actress and director Jodie Foster wore her hair punctuated by scattered locks, with the whiteness of her roots clearly visible.
In an interview with Telerama at the beginning of July, the 58-year-old, who won two Oscars, said she was "excited to absorb" her 60s and had "no problem with age".
Social media users interacted through their comments with Foster's appearance on the festival stairs, and one of them tweeted, "I am very happy to see actresses who look their actual age, with wrinkles and white hair on the red carpet," and his post received nearly 3,000 likes.
For her part, American actress and director Jodie Foster considered, during a training session organized by the festival, that "the time has come for women!", encouraging aspiring actresses, directors and film technicians to go.
She said: "It is the right moment now!", as there is currently "awareness - although things have not completely changed - that a long time has passed when we did not hear women's stories."
Asked about the parity between men and women in Hollywood, the Academy Award-winning actress and director noted that "a lot has changed," adding, "When I started my career there were no women (...) there was the beautician, the woman who took care of the script.
I didn't see any women except them.
This reality has changed.”
On receiving an honorary Palme d'Or from Spanish director Pedro Almodovar for the entirety of her career, she said that it is a touching moment, because Almodovar is the author of "The First Feminist Cinema".
