how come she is not a movie star


she got everything the talent, the looks and the charisma . i have seen less talnted actress turn into movie stars like megan fox , cameron daiz and kirsten stewart who is not even good looking . to me eliza is better actress than a lot of movie stars now days , why she is not a movie star is riddle to me , only logical explanation is her agent sucks .

Hollywood don't know what talent is.

I've lost all hope in that happening, she's unbelievably gorgeous. Now it's a matter of who has a similar look that may replace her

While i've liked her in the TV shows she has been in 'movie talent' isn't something that springs to mind with her. She's an OK actress but she's not that good.

Dollhouse was the closest to acting she ever got (IMO), and she didn't really emote that strongly. Even when Echo was embodying a personality, she never struck me as capable of giving a dynamic performance.

I love Eliza, but in all honesty, it's mostly because she's positively addictive to look at. That and she has the "nostalgia quality" for me, like Linda Cardellini.
And that smile. Hmm.

Eliza Dushku is pretty okay looking, but I wouldnt call her a stunning beauty like, for example, Michelle Trachtenberg, Alison Brie, Alexandra Daddario, Candice Accola, or Willa Holland.

Megan Fox is not what I would call a movie star. She's a pretty face people add to their movies if they have a part for it. I dont remember ever reading from anyone they think she's a great actress.

Cameron Diaz was a pretty good movie star in her day, specializing mostly in the odd and funny variant of movies. The kind of movies which nowadays is pretty dead, actually, thinking about it. She hasnt done much recently, and considering her age its not that surprising that she hasnt.

I know no "Kirsten Stewart", so no comments on that one.

for god sake u think don form buffy is better looking than eliza , and kirsten stweart
is the leading lady in the twilight movies , all i meant is that eliza is better than a lot of the so called movie stars now day to me she is the real thing

She's average looking and lacks charisma... there are thousands just like her. She doesn't stand out in any way.

I absolutely adore Eliza don't get me wrong. She's always been one of my favorites for a while now. But being nice and pretty will only get you so far in Hollywood. She's a good actress and all; she can play the bad girl very, very, very good, but let's be real, that's about it. Hope she surprises everyone with Jane Wants a Boyfriend.
