“We’re very disappointed by the decision, but it changes nothing about SAG-AFTRA’s commitment to change IMDb’s wrongful and abusive conduct,” she said. “Neither I nor our members will stop speaking out until this outrageous violation of privacy used to facilitate discriminatory hiring ends.”
Carteris has insisted that she might not have been cast in “Beverly Hills 90210” as high school valedictorian and newspaper editor Andrea Zuckerman had her actual age been known at the time. Carteris was 29 when she originated the role of the 16-year-old high schooler. SAG-AFTRA chief operating officer and general counsel Duncan Crabtree-Ireland also complained Friday about the ruling. He said no decision has been made about further appeals.
“The Court’s conclusion that this law wouldn’t have a major impact on age discrimination in the entertainment industry is simply ill-informed,” Crabtree-Ireland said. “It highlights why it was so wrong for the trial court judge to deny us the opportunity to discover and present evidence that we know would have conclusively proved that point.
There was no immediate response to a request for comment from the Secretary of State’s office or Amazon.
