Skin-deep ugliness - Los Angeles Times"

Renee ZELLWEGER gained 30 pounds to play Bridget Jones, Nicole Kidman donned a prosthetic nose to portray Virginia Woolf and now Charlize Theron has gained weight, wears false teeth and


acquired a skin condition to play the lead in “Monster.”


Why do these beautiful women also get the roles for films requiring overweight and/or plain women? Aren’t there any good actresses who aren’t thin and beautiful?


The sad truth is that the only way an audience will flock to the theater to see an unattractive woman in a lead role is when they know that, underneath it all, they are really watching a


babe.
