Hallmark Calling Their Movie Stars 'Too Old'

[Mark Jeffries]

In an age discrimination suit brought by 79-year-old former Hallmark Channel casting director Penny Perry, she claims that Hallmark's programming VP Lisa Hamilton Daly told her that she didn't want "old people" starring in their movies, including channel mainstays Holly Robinson Peete (60) and Lacey Chabert (42--she's doing an unscripted series for their new Hallmark+ streamer)--Hallmark's response is the usual "we don't comment on litigation" and a statement that Peete and Chabert are still welcome on the channel:

We don't know Daly's age, but she sure doesn't look like a GenZer.
