Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I'm still in a career, I'm still working, I'm here and I was shocked by how unrepresented I was," Shields said to King. "You're either [in your] 20s and sexy and fabulous or you're in Depends and you've got dentures."
Shields noted that she believes "from 40 on we start living in our lives," but society doesn’t seem to agree.
