There is a larger number of working film actresses under 30 than over 30 at any given moment in the United States. This fact is commonly attributed to the supposition that film audiences are youth-obsessed and prefer to see younger actresses on screen. However, the results of recent polls show that of the 50 most popular working film actresses, more than three-quarters of them are over the age of 30 and have been acting in films for more than 10 years. The polls' results suggest that the true reason why there are a larger number of younger actresses is not that they are preferred on screen but rather that studios typically expose audiences to actresses at the beginnings of their careers, hoping that this early exposure will cause the audiences to become fans over time.
