205. and being a teenager is specifically part of Juliet's character...
as Hamlet's relative youth is essential to his character. Denzel Washington is one of the finest actors working today, but he would look ridiculous as Hamlet. As ridiculous as Gibson and Branagh were in the role (although Washington's chops put those two to shame)

Racism is present in Hollywood (as it is in the rest of this country), but her problem is her industry's (gender specific) ageism.
As far as producers are concerned, she is getting long in her pretty tooth.
