Some people have given me crap about attacking Connelly just because she's 20 years older and everyone ages and looks different, blah blah blah, but what she's done to herself is nothing short of appalling. It's not just the missing boobs and curves, but her face is totally different today, and I don't think it's the usual cosmetic surgery trap so many fortysomething actresses fall into (look at Nicole Kidman...like Connelly, absolutely ravishing in the early/mid-90's, but now her face has become totally immobilized and mask-like), but just the lack of the voluptuous "baby fat" she had back in the day, which gave her facial features an inherently appealing "roundness" that's a far cry from the gaunt, protruding cheekbones you could practically slice deli meat on these days.Eric W. wrote:And JC is just a tragedy how gorgeous she was before the mass eating disorder phase hit Hollywood and took down far too many women like herself. She's almost unrecognizable flat out.
But she's an Academy Award winning-actress...!AndyDursin wrote:The other thing for me about JC is that her appearance has always been her most important asset.

Hey, right movie at the right time (albeit a massively overrated one). We all see what kind of roles she got off that (THE DILEMMA, lol).Monterey Jack wrote:But she's an Academy Award winning-actress...!AndyDursin wrote:The other thing for me about JC is that her appearance has always been her most important asset.

Can anyone name a SINGLE Supporting Actress Oscar winner who went on to bigger and better things? What have you seen Mira Sorvino in lately? At least Marisa Tomei has been getting a lot of work in good movies lately, after a decade's worth of slim pickings (and she still looks fab).AndyDursin wrote: Hey, right movie at the right time (albeit a massively overrated one).

Good point and I pretty much agree with everything you and Andy wrote since my last post.Monterey Jack wrote:
