Just a number? Age and the Industry

[Melisande]

Some industries (modeling industry, entertainment industry, etc. ) have certain expectations concerning age.

Recently, I found that some extremely respectable and conscientious friends of mine admit to regularly lying about their age at auditions, while others have not been hired when they told the truth re. their age.
Which got me thinking seriously...

Would you lie?
Do you?

Here's a thread about age and modeling.....and yes agencies lie and they tell the models to lie about age....if you're to young you lie that you're older...but if you are older but you look young you lie and say you are younger.
