What I found interesting was Hugh's comment on not having as many choices as people would expect with his degree of success on television. Most actors, even successful ones are in similar situations unless you're on the scale of a Denzel or Clooney.
Yep, it is interesting to consider how actors that you would expect can take their pick are, in fact, not spoilt with choice.
I wonder whether actors may be victims of their own success sometimes, and when they become very well-known for a role, directors and producers - not much differently from common people - find it difficult to associate them with different kinds of roles, or they think actors associated with a still running/in production TV series may not have time to be in something else.
It made me think, too. Actually, the grocery woman from the article could have been me, as "I don't know a single so-called celebrity on any of these magazines," or "Who are these people?" are increasingly my reaction whenever I leaf through a magazine these days. I want real celebrities back.
Agreed. I prefer to look at and follow the careers of people for their talent rather than their magazine, make that media exposure.
thanks for the links annee. very interesting ones!!!
It's neither a Ioan nor a Mattie article; still, it has a nice mention of Our Taffia.

Hollywood is heaving with Welsh stars, and not just the old warhorses such as Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but a new breed, including Rhys Ifans, Ioan Gruffudd and Michael Sheen. June sees the release of The Edge of Love, a film based on the life of Dylan Thomas (Welsh) starring Matthew Rhys (Welsh), Sienna Miller (has a Welsh boyfriend) and Keira Knightley (not, admittedly, Welsh).

Hi Annee, Interesting article. I'd like to be able to see first-hand for myself whether or not the article is true.
Please take a moment to read this.
Ms. Tyler does make some really good points, IMO.

I totally agree with Ms. Tyler, Annee! Little girls just need to be little girls, not would-be Lolitas. Beyonce should have had better advice; this is a pervert's paradise! :angry2:
I totally agree with Ms. Tyler, too. Little girls need to be little girls and it makes me really sad when I see one dressed as a Lolita or a young woman.
Childhood so brief. Wish we could/would keep them young,at least for a little while. Guess I'm old-fashioned,it's okay by me!!!
I always thought dress-up was fun as a little girl, - Mom's old prom dresses and plastic high heels, but it was very clear that it was dress-up playing, not trying to be an "adult" or "adult-like". This definitely crosses the line.
For me that´s just sick. To do that to a child........ disgusting!!!!
