Actress Sues Amazon, IMdB

An unnamed actress "of Asian descent," who is from Texas, is suing Amazon for revealing her real age on IMdB.  According to the suit, the actress "cannot physically portray" a 40-year-old woman, yet she is missing roles because IMdB lists her real age and she has such a "youthful appearance."  I'm quoting a lot because the source and suit are so specious (and stupid).

The suit claims the actress, who is listed as Jane Doe, joined IMdB Pro in 2008, and the company listed her real age on her IMdB profile.  The company refused to remove it when asked, so the actress is suing for a cool $75,000 plus $1 million punitive.

Amazon refused to comment on the suit.
