Moldova.ORG -- Meryl Streep is menacing to quit Hollywood.

The 57-year-old actress is tired of Tinseltown's inability to provide good parts for older actresses, and maintained she will walk away from acting unless the situation changes, according to RTE.ie.

"I have seriously thought about giving up unless there are roles available that do not depict women of my age as either dotty or horrible", said “The Devil Wears Prada” star quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper.

Streep is not the single older actress to hit out against ageism in Hollywood.

Demi Moore recently spoke out against the lack of roles available to actresses 40 and over.

"For many female actors who turn 40 it means the end of their career, its time to retire. There aren't that many good roles for women over 40. A lot of them don't have much substance, other than being someone's mother or wife. If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30 it is a problem", said the 44 year-old Demi.
