Are there actresses whose acting is under-rated because they are distractingly good looking ?


A few who come to mind:

Michelle Pfeiffer
Ellen Page

Any more ?

I think Catherine Zeta Jones could act but she was so beautiful it wasn't really important or as I said no one cares about acting when you're that good looking.

I didn't find Zeta_Jones extremely beautiful (hooded-eyes, for one thing) Fame enhances one's opinion of an actor's looks in many cases.
No one cared? Since she has an Oscar, sounds like people did care about her acting.

I personally find her the most beautiful actress together with Monica Belluci of the late 90ties early 2000s. But Catherine can act better than Monica but Monica Belluci is maybe more beautiful. I never seen Chicago the musical but I personally don't care for a woman's acting ability when they are that beautiful.

reply

I just meant that a woman can be beautiful, without being extremely beautiful. Extreme is a very extreme-word.

Zeta in the phantom was beauty personified.

It feels odd defending a rich beautiful talented woman. LOL. whatever

Ellen Page???????????????????????????????????????

Not with you on Ellen Page. Michelle, absolutely!

IMO it’s the opposite with Pfeiffer. She is so gorgeous that it is easy to overlook her limited acting skills. She seems to always have a deadpan face and her emotional moments are just screechy shouts.
