Vanessa Williams Doesn’t Like HD
I thought it was funny when I saw this, because my wife and I were just talking about this the other day. She likes the show “Ugly Betty”. I watch it with her because, well, I can! My laptop can go where I go. So I check out the web and stuff while watching the show.
And it’s true. Vanessa Williams doesn’t look that great on this show. Her age is definitely showing, and it’s not flattering at all. I should not really be saying things like that, because it’s not nice. But in an industry where looks are so important, I can understand why television stars are nervous about this whole HD thing.
Maybe we’re moving into a more enlightened age, where wrinkles aren’t smoothed over by low-res screens, and we can see things as they really are. Is that a good thing, or bad?

That is so true. But she has a great character on Ugly Betty. She’s 43. If wrinkles stop her from having a career then actors are going to have careers that last 10 years. 18 to 28. I hope that people will just become more accepting .

Wow, just because the industry i shallow doesn’t mean you guys have to be. What’s wrong with women with wrinkles? I don’t understand the criticism.
Not only are some wrinkles still attractive, but why must every female role be judged on whether we want to ****? [Watch your language.]
Which one of you would tell Helen Mirren she shouldn’t do 35mm films because it would show more wrinkles than HD?
