Veteran actresses from Argentina, Spain, and Italy have shared personal reflections regarding the physical, lifestyle, and professional challenges associated with aging.

María Valenzuela of Argentina reported suffering from severe arthritis and shoulder injuries that she described as “terrible,” while Spanish actress María Galiana, aged 91, attributed her vitality to a Mediterranean diet and sufficient sleep. 

In Italy, Valeria Golino discussed her efforts to quit smoking and noted shifts in how she is perceived by men as she ages. Laura Morante, marking her 70th birthday, highlighted industry disparities, observing that while men often work into their eighties, roles for women tend to diminish as they age, making it harder for them to remain protagonists.
