Hallmark Media executive vice president of programming Lisa Hamilton Daly instructed a former employee not to cast “old people” for Hallmark roles, saying that “our leading ladies are aging out,” according to a lawsuit filed against the network this month and obtained by The Associated Press.

According to a new age discrimination lawsuit, Hallmark’s VP of programming, Linda Hamilton Daly, acted a lot like Dennis Quaid’s character in the film and created two perfect candidates for the substance in Lacey Chabert and Holly Robinson Peete.
