Can you imagine being a less than beautiful actress or one well into her 30s? A role that called for a haggard woman in her 30s isn't filled by a woman in her 30s who is plain: no, they'll take someone who had to be early 20s at the time and ugly her up. Crazy.

Perhaps it's because she's a good actress and nailed the part in auditions? Tom Cruise played a sleazy agent brilliantly in Tropic Thunder. Makeup's cheap.
