do you think she would be any part of marvel/starwars/dc (etc..) franchises?
shareI doubt it. She barely even resembles her past appearance nowadays.
shareSo it's all about the looks? Therein lies the problem for female actors with integrity.
shareWomen age differently than men do, and this effects their marketability. That's life, unfair as it may be
shareHaha. No, they age just like men do. The difference is in the way our society perceives them.
But the actress herself feeds into it. Look at Bette Davis. In some of her greatest roles she played an evil old hag. She cared more about being a great actress than a piece of cheesecake.
I didn't say it was right, but you'd have to be living on another planet to think that an actress' ability to land roles in blockbuster movies in Hollywood isn't dependent on their looks.
shareIt applies to men too. For instance, leading men have to keep in shape and discipline their eating habits so they're not 300 lb. slobs. A good example is Brad Pitt as the stunt man Cliff Booth in "Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood." Would he have been hired for that role if he didn't take care of his looks and was out of shape? Obviously not.
There are exceptions, of course, like Marlon Brando or John Wayne, who were still able to land lucrative roles despite allowing themselves to get flabby, but that's because they developed so much clout in the biz over the course of decades.
Russell Crowe is another great example of an out of shape actor who is still able to land lucrative roles, despite allowing himself to get flabby and overweight.
shareThat's why Glenn Powell, Jason Mamoa are being tried out as the next big thing alongside with Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling etc
Not a coincidence that they are all good-looking.
The reason why Patrcik Swayzes career went off the rails and he disappeared.
Paul Giamati was never lined up as the next big thing. David Dastmalchian is not being lined up as the next big thing.
They have to spend decades carving out a career with great performances and being great to work with before they get the chance to lead a movie.
Plenty of young male actors who never made the cut, mainly because they couldn't cut it in the big leagues or their cute looks went south when that's the only talent they had.
It's how the industry works. Women are not always perpetual victims.
Right after she filmed the 2007 Robert Rodriguez film 'Planet Terror,' I guess she had a really bad car accident and had to have a bunch of reconstructive surgery. This is why she wasn't seen for several years after that movie, and why she looks so much different now (along with aging, of course.)
That accident effectively ended her acting career, so no, I don't think she'd be a part of any big modern franchises. The radical activism stuff came later, probably after she realized she wasn't gonna be a big movie star.
All lies that she "confessed" to in her book.
shareWhat were? The accident? Was that all bullshit?
shareIndeed. She had a very minor accident and only had a scratch or something. That's not why she had plastic surgery. She lied about that and she supposedly confessed to that in her biography. But she lies so much that who knows if the excuse she came up with was the truth anyway. But all you got to do is just Google it and there's tons and tons of information on it.
shareIs being outspoken negative? Honestly, I doubt she'd want to attach herself to those franchises. Plus, I'm pretty sure she elected to leave the industry.
shareI think "outspoken" was the OP's nice way of saying batshit fucking psycho.
shareI could be wrong, but you're not much of a fan of Rose, are you?
(LOL)
No I like her as an actress. I like her movies. But as a person, not so much.
shareThat's cool. I've only read about it casually, but you don't think she's telling the truth with her accusations of sexual misconduct, etc.?
shareNot really. The Casting Couch is wrong for sure. But there is a choice in it. You choose to go along with it or you choose not to. I have no respect for ones that choose to go along with it and then boohoo about it years later. Not to mention that since she outright admitted to lying in her book about the plastic surgery and the need for the plastic surgery, I don't really believe anything that she says. I have found in my experience that once somebody is a liar and especially an admitted liar, you can't believe anything they say after that.
shareLying about personal things, like age or surgeries, is different than calling out someone for immorality/corruption. Personal issues are no one else's business so the person can justify fibbing about it when backed against the wall by nosey people.
As for casting couch abuses, I could see someone arguing that they went along with it when they were young & dumb and desperate to "make it" but, years later and wiser, they see that they were taken advantaged of and feel it's their responsibility to speak out, come what may.
I respect your view, I'm just sharing the other side.
I say: Call the bastages out (assuming the charges are true) since no one should be compelled to have sex with a pompous, fugly stranger just to land a job, which amounts to prostitution.
I don't think so. She was the teen sex symbol of her generation, nothing more nothing less. I'm not hating on her at all by saying that, I was a big fan of Scream & Jawbreaker as a young teen, & she was my first crush. She was really good in Scream but that was when she was still young & applying herself. After she got with Marilyn Mason she just had the 'starf*** her way to the top mentality, started doing drugs all the time & stopped applying herself. Her acting in Charmed is terrible & soulless.
I'm sure the sexual assault took a toll on her mental state as well & was probably the source for most of the drug use. She was a good actress when she wanted to be, but she didn't apply herself much at all after Scream.
I liked her in Scream, Jawbreakers and Planet Terror. She had talent. It's unfortunate that the sexual abuse seems to have done a number on her mentally. I haven't kept up with her recently but around the whole #MeToo thing she was coming across as quite a damaged individual which is understandable I guess but a shame.
shareIt's unfortunate but true both with employees and relationship partners - they may be damaged due to something that wasn't their fault at all, but the fact that they're damaged often makes them (or makes them perceived to be) unreliable and difficult to work with or depend on. I would imagine this difficulty would negatively impact many careers because employers and producers want to be sure that they're hiring someone who isn't going to create a problem for them legally (which costs a lot of extra money hiring lawyers to fight) and in terms of efficiently creating a product (which can cost a lot in terms of production overruns if the actor isn't doing what they are expected to).
