Actress Sues IMDb for Posting Her Age

An unnamed actress is suing Amazon.com's IMDb for revealing her age, the New York Post reports.

?In the entertainment industry, youth is king,? reads the suit, which was filed in Seattle federal court under "Jane Doe." IMDb is based in Seattle.

"If one is perceived to be ?over-the-hill,? i.e. approaching 40, it is nearly impossible for an up-and-coming actress, such as the plaintiff, to get work." adds the suit.

The woman does not list her age, but does reveal she's living in Texas.

She claims that IMDb obtained her private information in 2008 when she subscribed to the site's pay service, IMDbPro.

?Shortly after subscribing to IMDbPro, plaintiff noticed that her legal date of birth had been added to her public profile ... revealing to the public that the plaintiff is many years older than she looks,? the suit says.
