I struggled in responding to your post, Rae. It was disconcerting how often you denigrated actresses solely based on appearance. I don't think any of us can deny the aesthetic appeal of watching someone like Rosamund Pike. And, there is of course a physical element to attraction, and beauty will always be a prized quality as long as people have eyes. Nonetheless, your evaluation of several performances on what appears to be physical appearance alone is perturbing. I would venture to guess that you would not appreciate your work product being judged based on where you fall in the "degrees of ugly" range.
