She's not ugly - why do people think she is?


I do not think Maggie Gyllenhaal is ugly at all.
She looked very pretty to me in The Dark Knight and Donnie Darko.
Why does everyone say she is an ugly woman? Is it just because she has frown lines, though she is young?
Please enlighten me, why do people find her unattractive?

xoxo i love you

This is the most specious claim that I have yet to read on imdb or elsewhere. People think that Maggie Gyllenhaal is ugly because sheis "not selling herself out as a sex symbol..." UH - Have you seen secretary (her so-called break out role? Uh - have you seen Sherrybaby - her other break-through performance which had the critics panting? UH - Maggie Gyllenhaal exploits her sexuality more than any other established or working (non-porn) actress. Even Angelina Jolie does not do full frontal. Can you name any A or B list actress who has shown her bush more than Maggie? The only roles that MG got before displaying her bush were parts directed by her DAD. All of her so-called critically acclaimed roles have been so-called art house films which show more of MG's bush and nudity than most porns. the only difference between sherrybaby and cinemaz soft-porn is that there is 'story' and 'conflict' in MG's roles that is lacking in soft porn.

Amen, TheBiz22. I was thinking the exact same thing. Two out of the three roles she is famous for - she's a total slutbag. She shows total nudity - the type that other actresses who have no issue showing their breasts frequently -- wouldn't do. Of course she TRIED to sell sexuality but she's just not that attractive so no one thought much of it.

Have the people here who are claiming to be her friends and fans NOT seen her movies? ... duh.
