Surprisingly Young and Pretty


at only 39 , she is MUCH younger and more attractive than she is in the roles she gets . I hope that the buzz over "The Help" means she will get to play a better roles.

Sadly enough, this just does not happen for talented black actresses, the roles they are offered call for a "BLACK" actress. This town is not color blind. Emma Stone's character Skeeter was the vehicle for the "Help" storyline. As you can see the number of roles for both black actors male and female are very, very limited. especially for the women. At the moment you will see a lot of Zoe Zaldana, and Rasheeda Jones as they will fit the bill for black or white. But oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Kerry Washington, Raja P. NO Still in 2011, they seldom put a Hot white male actor with a black female.

You mean more attractive than other species of frogs?

I agree that Octavia is adorable with a very sweet face, but Hollywood keeps casting in all these roles that make her look frumpy! She should have a love interest in one of her next roles, at least don't have her play a maid or a nurse again!

So I am not the only one thinking of frogs when I see her then...

Then that's one PRETTY frog then.

Her face is very odd looking. How can a short funny looking fat woman be considered attractive?
