    I've been doing a lot of thinking and found sometimes people have been overcritical of talented actresses and actors. So I thought why not list some actors who you feel have gotten bad reps or bad wraps because of past movies they've done. It's up to you guys if you keep this going, but kinda just want to let these feelings out :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Sarah Jessica Party - I am SO sick of people insulting her and calling her a horse. I mean I'll admit, found it hilarious in South Park but have heard many call her this and I don't see it. I've seen her with and without make-up and except for that overly dark makeup she wore in SatC 2, she looks absolutely gorgeous every time I see her. Even when she looked ragged in SatC 1 I still thought she looked beautiful and I LOVE her in SatC and other films she's done. I feel people use this "horse" excuse which is unfounded just to hate on her.

    Zac Efron - Personally have loved almost every film he's done (I'm sorry, wasn't a fan actually of Charlie St. Cloud tbh). He's gotten more and more attractive as he's aged and I feel he still gets heat just because of HSM. I have loved his acting in the films he's done and his support of gay rights (though I still say he'll one day run into my arms :wink: ) has been great :slight_smile:.

    Zac Efron's just too cute :slight_smile: He's not a bad actor, either!

    Glenn Close is one of my absolute favorites! She is, in my opinion, one of the MOST TALENTED actresses of all time - and I feel she never gets the respect that she is due. She's been nominated six times for an Academy Award but never actually won it - which is an outrage. Her performances in Dangerous Liaisons and Fatal Attraction are FANTASTIC!! :grin:

    I've always liked Glenn, too. Do you think her face has caused a problem, though? She's obviously had work done - just a question. :slight_smile:

    Zac Efron for sure! :grin: He is absolutely adorable!!

    Michael Cera. People say his acting sucks but I love it! He is so adorable and funny! :grin:

    Ellen Page. She seems to have just disappeared off the planet after Juno!

    Well not really, I mean she was in X-Men 3 after she was in Juno. And Inception. Oh and apparently she's going to play Kitty Pryde again in X-Men Days of Future Past next year.

    Glenn once made a comment that she could never do anything like a RomCom because she didn't think she had the face for it. I don't think it's necessarily unconventional or anything like that, just very striking. She has a face that you don't forget, and that's a good thing! Apart from RomComs (which she could totally do, in my opinion), I don't think her face could have really held her back that much. But I've just always thought of her as beautiful. :slight_smile: Perhaps the reason she's not more appreciated is because her acting and character work can be so subtle and delicate at times that maybe not everyone understands and appreciates the full depth of how amazingly talented she is.

    Also, and this is just out of curiosity :slight_smile: - what makes you say she's had work done? I see no evidence of that. She definitely didn't get a nose job, and I don't think she had plastic surgery either. I think she probably just has good genes. And she said she also "gurns" daily (which is basically like stretching/contorting your face), which slows the aging of the skin and prevents wrinkles, etc.

    Either way, I just love her :slight_smile:

    Noel Fischer (He is the "nerdy" love of my life especially as a red-head. He plays Mickey on U.S Shameless)
