[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]She seems pretty down to earth and is not afraid to challenge America's unrealistic standards. I am so glad I am Danish and not American. You guys are crackpots. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-31870...od-actress-led-depression.html[/quote]

Yet, she dates attractive men not short, balding, scrawny dudes. And she likely gets roles, in part, because she is reasonably attractive - someone that people want to watch on screen.

She chose a [quote]profession in which looks typecast you[/quote]. No one wants to see a flabby middle aged lady in a leading romantic role with a hot hollywood hunk. It is what it is. [/quote]

Yeah, but another disturbing thing is exactly how ridiculously high the bar is for female stars.  If you are not a model or ex-model or something close, you are apparently unwatchable in a lead role.  "Reasonably attractive" sure, perhaps that is a realistic category, but the pool of acceptable is clearly much smaller than that.  (And this is not the case for male romantic leads - which are far more diverse - though that is as it should be (but just should be for everyone).)   And this conversation just underscores this.  Kirsten Dunst has perfect skin, very regular features, thick hair, very slim.  She is objectively "pretty" even if she isn't necessary "your cup of tea" or attractive to a poster personally.  How is this even really an argument?[/quote]
