No woman....

Who is half as physically repulsive as him could have half the career he has/had.

Double standard. And for me, I can't watch him...good actor or not. He's repulsive-looking.

Rhea Perlman

IDK that Melissa McCarthy is pretty hard to look at.

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

Melissa McCarthy is a big movie and TV star, and an Oscar nominee.

Hollywood has always had a bit of room for ordinary-looking actors, from Marie Dressler to Reilley and McCarthy.

I love him! I am very attracted to him and think he is adorable! :)

But...Sarah Jessica Parker, who looks like Witchiepoo! And was even pushed as some kind of sexpot at some point.

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

Oh, SJP was a hottie, back in the 80s and 90s. Blonde/blue, amazing figure, cheerful personality and big smile, pretty but not so gorgeous that a straight man would be afraid to talk to her. Not a great beauty then, but very attractive.

Of course aging and SATC changed that, there's nothing like years of playing a whining narcissist to kill a person's appeal.

LOL!

She was never "hot." She looked like the female Dustin Diamond for some time until she got some plastic surgery:

And still that wasn't enough. It was at the peak of SITC when she was famously slammed for looking like a horse AND a foot.

Have you seen "LA Story" or "Honeymoon in Vegas"? They were made before the dreadful SATC, back when she was cute and appealing.

Gone are the days, of course.

This most be the dumbest post I've ever seen.

Nonsense. Plenty of women play unattractive roles. A good example as has been cited already is Linda Hunt. No, she's not repulsive. She's a very engaging actress. But she's not beautiful.

But there are plenty of examples. What about Roseanne Barr? Has she ever been accused of being a beauty queen?

And there's Oprah Winfrey, one of the most influential women in America. C'mon, for years "fat" was the most definitive word to describe her appearance.

Whoopi Goldberg? John C Reilly is prettier than her. 🤣

Stupid thread.

He's handsome actually.
