Producer Carol Baum forgot that older females don’t automatically hate younger ones

Hollywood producer Carol Baum has publicly derided Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney. Interviewed onstage following a screening of her 1988 film, Dead Ringers, in Pleasantville, New York, Baum described viewing Sweeney’s romcom, Anyone But You, on a plane (“unwatchable”), and said she’d asked students on her producing course at the USC School of Cinematic Arts: “Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?”

She and her students came to the conclusion they would hire Sweeney if it got their film made. I’m sure the globally celebrated, twice-Emmy-nominated, actor-producer Sweeney will be very relieved about that.
