The 71-year old Rumor Has It star said that Hollywood was making a big mistake by not making movies to suit an older audience, and for concentrating on a younger crowd that was more interested in playing videogames.

"I think Hollywood is making a big mistake not making films for people over 50. Young people are fickle.

They'll stay home and play video games or go out and party instead of going to the movies on a regular basis unless they're dating someone," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
