Furthermore, this shift has a profound cultural legacy. When younger generations of actresses watch peers like Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Olivia Colman, and Angela Bassett break records and sweep award seasons in their fifties, sixties, and seventies, the psychological horizon of the entire industry expands.
