she should have a talk with her parents

I’ll send a thank you note to her old management team.
shareShe's got great hindsight!
shareWhen you are rich and famous and complain that you didn't get everything you wanted. I somehow don't think it is going to elicit a lot of sympathies.
shareI think actors are 'groomed' to see themselves as victims. I guess it makes them seem 'more interesting' and it also creates a 'woe is me/I struggled/feel bad for me/love me LOVE ME' narrative.
Rather pathetic and narcissistic IMHO.
I think audiences should demand that Hollywood ONLY hires well-adjusted actors, and not self-pitying assholes, who will easily turn on their own audience in an instant.
Attractive bombshell actors like her, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Sharon Stone, Halle Berry, Julie Roberts, and so on, seem, from what I've observed, to have longer and more lucrative careers than most character actors. As talented as, say, Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is, you don't see her, for example, getting many A-list starring roles, do you?
Now, I do think child actors are probably exploited, whatever their gender, and I'm not keen on the sexualisation of any actor in their teens, but once you get to your twenties, I feel you're in a position to choose what roles you take, and Scarlett was still clearly taking sexy roles in her twenties and thirties. Was she still being 'groomed' during that period? 🤷♂️
Now that she's older, has a bunch of ugly ass tattoos, not getting bombshell roles anymore, and has been replaced by younger and hotter actresses, she's a bitter freak just like the rest of hollyweird.
shareThis will probably seem 'misogynist', but I've noticed a trend among certain actresses, when it comes to 'staying relevant'. Make a mint as the 'bombshell' in your late teens/twenties, see your career stall a little in your thirties, and then, by the time you're getting into your forties and fifties, make yourself relevant again, by appealing to a new audience of 'feminists'/women by calling out the very aspects of your career that made you frickin famous in the first fucking place.
Now, I'm not talking about actual *abuse* (i.e. rape/assault/molestation). There's NO place for ABUSE. But calling out the earlier parts of your career as 'exploitation' despite the MILLIONS it made you, seems like a sick joke, when you think about how many women truly are exploited, in low-pay/minimum-wage jobs. Think you're 'exploited', try being a waitress in your thirties and your forties. Try working in a strip joint, or as a cocktail waitress in Vegas. Try working in an Amazon warehouse. These fucking actors don't know they're born. 😠
I don't alway agree with you, but you are spot on in this instance.
shareHaving scanned the article it seems that what she is saying is that she got typecast as the "blonde bombshell" which I suppose is true. Lots of actors get typecast, the majority of them I guess. Another downside of the myopia of the bean counters in the Industry.
I never thought she was that pretty when she was really young. She even looked a little bit gawky to me. She only really grew into her beauty by her mid-twenties, like a lot of women IMHO (then again, maybe it's just cos I ain't a perv who lusts over teenagers).
shareWhat has any of that ( including your nauseating virtue signaling ) got to do with typecasting ?
I guess I'm just saying that Hollywood, or whoever was making the decision to turn Scarlett into a sex symbol, could easily have waited until she was into her twenties *before* marketing her that way. Who the fuck is assuming that most men want to see TEENAGE girls being sexually 'exploited', assuming that was the case?
Wait until these actresses are old enough to make their own decisions about their sexuality. Now, that doesn't mean they won't end up potentially regretting those choices, BUT sorry 'love', an adult is an ADULT. We all make decisions we regret as adults, but once you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to take FULL fucking RESPONSIBILITY for your choices.
There you go with the virtue signalling again. And THIS TIME IN CAPSLOCK !!! You do a lot of virtue signalling here at Moviechat. In my experience people who go in for virtue signalling are usually anything but virtuous. They are often hiding something quite unpleasant about themselves. So what are you hiding ?
What do you *think* I'm 'hiding'? That way, I can tell you if you're right or not.
I'm mentally ill. I'll give you that much. But I've always been very honest about that.
But I've NEVER committed a crime (unless stealing free gifts out of the bottom of cornflake packets, when I was a about six/seven, counts...oh, and I once cheated on a French test when I was 11, by flipping open an exercise book with my feet so that I could check the right word). 🤷♂️
But, please, go ahead, and test my 'virtue'...
You are an obvious fake and a liar, no need for a "test".
'Obviously'?
We can all assume the worst about others, but what basis/proof do you have?
I know I'm an asshole. I admit it. That and my mental illnesses. But I ain't done anything to hurt anyone. At most, I've been disrespectful on occasion. But I don't hit people, I've never assaulted anyone, physically or sexually, and I've not committed any crimes (certainly no indictable ones), and I don't look at porn, especially NOT any illicit stuff. So, what dodgy things do you think I've done, apart from be an asshole?
What would be the point ? I would just repeat my accusation and you would repeat your denial.
