Newly be-starred, Antonio Banderas has some opinions
Filed under: Newsstand
In the same week that he joined the growing pile of random people
with stars on the Hollywood's "prestigious" Walk of Fame, Antonio
Banderas ripped into the movie industry's treatment of woman. Jeez. You
give a guy a star, and suddenly he won't shut up. Actually, though he
pretended he was concerned in a very general way about how Hollywood
deals with women who aren't nubile young things - "[The industry] is
very cruel with women that cross 40...Hollywood just goes for fresh
flesh" - what's he's actually upset about is that his wife Melanie Griffith
can't get a job. Clearly, thinks Antonio, this is because the woman is
an old lady of 48. Since he loves his old lady, it probably hasn't occurred
to him that it also might have something to do with the fact that she's
only turned in two or three not-annoying performances in her entire career. Which is sweet.
