Pen Cap Chew said:They are all solid actressses in the right films. Most of the women on my list are not overly beautiful in the traditional sense as in model material (aside from Winslet, Thurman). I would probably never cast a dropdead gorgeous woman (a traditional beauty) in one of my films unless it really REALLY called for it or they could dumbdown their good looks (Charlize Theron). I'm really sick of beautiful modellike women playing everyday people (i.e. beautiful detective trying to find a serial killer, etc.) If she's in a film like Pirates of the Caribbean (Keira Knightley) then it's great and a major asset to the film but I'm sick of seeing overly goodlooking people (male or female) in serious, "realistic" drama-based films. If you are trying to make a realistic movie bring in the everyday / flawed folk THAT CAN ACT and keep the real beauties in model magazines or porn LOL. So that's what my list of actresses reflect more or less.
Agreed !
