At the premiere of his latest Netflix film,The Unforgivable,Sandra Bullock has credited the streaming giant for her career boost.

The 57-year-old star sharedThe Hollywood Reporter, If it wasn’t for Netflix, a lot of people wouldn’t be working. Their stories would not be told. Who would think that as a woman I would still be working at this point? I would have been in the cow pasture.

Notably, Bullocks’ career received a major boost following the resounding success of his 2018 dystopian thriller bird box which became Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time until the recent release of Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot-starring red notice, who eventually dethroned him. Interesting way, the unforgivable got a lot of love too. So much so that within 28 days of its release, it became the ninth most-watchednetflix original movieall time.

The streamer has not only helped relaunch Bullocks’ career, but has also advanced the filmographies of several other aging actresses, ensuring that they continue to be so prolific and can play meaty, layered and interesting characters to the screen.

Take Jane Fonda, for example. Netflixs Grace and Frankie with 82 [and counting] episodes spanning seven seasons gave the veteran actress a solid run at a time when most of her contemporaries had long since retired. At 84, Fonda is preparing for the release of Luck, an animated fantasy comedy, slated for release in February on Apple TV+.

Robin Wright (55) and Laura Linney (57) have also gained immense popularity in recent years, thanks to their Netflix shows. Playing Claire Underwood from Card castle 2013 to 2018 was a turning point in Wright’s career, making her the first woman to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for a show on a streaming platform. Meanwhile, Linney has already featured in two Netflix shows ozark and City Tales.

Netflix may be the industry leader, but it’s not the only streamer actively collaborating with veteran actresses. Other platforms, such as Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+ and Disney+ have also followed suit. If you look at Jennifer Aniston’s releases over the past five years, they’ve all been on streaming platforms, except yellow birds, the obscure film of the festival, his 2017 solo release. Netflix brought his sagging filmography to life with two original films, Pellet (2018) andMurder Mystery(2019). The 52-year-old star followed up with arguably his best career performance since Friends on AppleTV+The morning show, for which she earned a Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

Patricia Arquette, who won an Academy Award for Richard Linklaters’ 2014 coming-of-age drama Childhood, has not appeared in any such substantial film since. But the 53-year-old actor extraordinaire hasn’t let the lack of theatrical releases stop him. His Netflix comedy otherness released in 2019.

Ina videothat Netflix released with its2020 integration report, the first-ever attempt of its kind by a streamer, Kabi Gishuru, Director of Global Inclusion Recruitment Programs at Netflix, says, “It’s really important that we open the door to underrepresented people. Because once we open the door for them, they will turn around and open the door for others.”

It’s true. For a very long time, Meryl Streep was the sole representative of women over 50 in aging Hollywood. But not anymore. We need a bigger table now. And many more chairs. Streeps finally got some company.

When she’s not reading books or watching movies, Sneha Bengani writes about them. She tweets at @benganiwrites.
