USC Annenberg's Center for Public Relations and Media, Diversity & Social Change Initiative (MDSCI), along with Humana, hosted "Over Sixty, Underestimated: A Healthy Look at the Silver Screen," a panel discussion on the portrayal of aging in Hollywood films on Feb. 16, 2017.

The event coincided with the release of MDSCI's latest report, which analyzed 1,256 speaking or named characters in 25 Best Picture-nominated films from 2014, 2015 and 2016 to assess the portrayal of characters aged 60 and over. The discussion was moderated by John Horn, host of KPCC's The Frame, and the panelists included Caroline Cicero, ‎instructional assistant professor at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology; Stacy Smith, associate professor of communication and director of MDSCI at USC Annenberg; Dr. Yolangel "Yogi" Hernandez Suarez, vice president and chief medical officer of care delivery at Humana; Gary Lucchesi, film producer and president of The Producers Guild of America; and actress Frances Fisher.
