In a major victory for SAG-AFTRA and GLAAD, IMDb has agreed to allow industry professionals to remove their dates of birth, birth names and other demographic information from its IMDb and IMDbPro sites

GLAAD Says IMDb’s New Birth Name Policy “Remains Imperfect”, SAG-AFTRA Adds There’s “More Work To Do”

IMDb, however, has now agreed to give the union what it had been asking for all along – the ability of performers to remove their ages from IMDb and IMDbPro at no cost. In a message to her members, Drescher noted: “Scores of people helped bring this to fruition and I want to recognize the many SAG-AFTRA committee members and staff who worked on this over many years. Their efforts helped bring us to where we are today. I think you’ll agree that this is a major step forward in championing diversity and providing many more opportunities for talent from all backgrounds to be discovered and hired by entertainment industry decision-makers.

Nick Adams, VP of the GLAAD Media Institute, said: “GLAAD knows that it’s crucial for LGBTQ professionals working in entertainment to authentically represent themselves, and the product and policy advancements IMDb is announcing today illustrate their commitment to supporting the entertainment industry’s evolution towards greater inclusion. We are proud to have worked closely with IMDb on these important updates.

In a statement, Col Needham, founder and CEO of IMDb, said: “The significant updates we are announcing today reflect our continuing commitment to being the most accurate and comprehensive source of information about movies, TV shows, talent, and entertainment industry professionals.
