[BuzzFoto] This B list actress has recently been studying feminist theory and saw a documentary, in which clips of her were featured, that discussed the portrayal of women in the media. She was shocked to realize she was part of a system that sexualizes women and is determined to do something about it. She told her agent she refuses to be booked in any role that objectifies a woman. While this is a step in the right direction, her team is worried since most of her previous roles have been based on her appearance. 698
Megan Fox
(Hi BG! I’m a first timer. I hope ya’ll are nice to me!)
Hi Nellie! Love, Ace
Angelina Jolie, maybe??
B list?
oopsy, sorry about that. She is definitely A.
Angelina seems pretty up on her feminist theory. Plus, with all those kids and films, I don’t see how she’d have time to study. Also: not B.
Maybe all her Nannies do the studying for her. lol
I have no clue, but good luck with that!
Alba?
OOOOOOH. I could see this, too.
Alba or ScarJo… Alba or ScarJo…
It very well could be Alba! Good call, although she’s never been nude in a movie, I can certainly see her saying something like this.
Close to it. Lol.
Yep, Alba. And she seems dim enough not to have realized she was part of the problem.
Anna Faris? Or is she not B list?
She wouldn’t be shocked. She’s pretty smart about feminism and movie roles, at least in her theory.
Megan Fox?
Megan Fox?
Unless she is very young or does only Indie films, how could she be shocked?
good question!
Because most of the women mentioned here don’t at all look old enough to play the typical mother-in-law role? And it’s sexist of Hollywood to want to cast 30 or 40 year old women as mother-in-laws, while still casting Harrison Ford in action adventure movies?
Sorry!!! Cancel that last comment of mine and a big apology to you. I thought I was on the actress is angered over the “mother-in-law” role thread! (Looks very embarrassed over stupid mistake.)
Amber Heard?
ScarJo?
That was my thought, but isn’t she considered A? At any rate, her acting has never been that great; I always thought her body was the main reason she got famous.
I’d say Lisa Edelstein,but she’s more of a C+ than a B actrees… anyhoo, she’s too stupid to realize that showing her tits and ass on almost every episode of House wasn’t the wisest thing to do.
Lisa Edelstein is a well known proponent of women’s rights and gender equality, her controversial pro-choice ad for Move On made some serious noise and took real guts and courage. As to her appearance on House, she didn’t write the scripts and didn’t dress or direct herself. Also it was much more to her character than her sexuality, but it does require certain level of intelligence to notice, no offense.
Jess Biel
Megan Fox. Maybe she’s been on a roll since she had her Marilyn tattoo removed because “It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.”
Right, I saw this too. Poor Megan is a little short on education and seems like the type who would really latch on to it once exposed.
MiserALBA
That sounds a lot like Megan Fox
megan fox
ScarJo
So many people I wish this was – Rihanna would be on top of my wish list closely followed by Paris Hilton, then Katie price/Jordan and maybe Brit Brit.but as for who it actually is – I am not sure who.
B list actress?
No u misunderstand – this is my wish list. I said I have no idea.
It says actress…none of these women are actresses.
Re read as I said wish list
It was just wishful thinking on MrKitty’s part.
(Smiling in amusement at your choices, except Brit Brit.)
Paris is a actress. At least i did see her last night getting killed in House Of Wax.
It’s gotta be Megan Fox right?
I reckon it is megan based on that whole tattoo removal thing. Is it too late to add j simpleton to my wish list?
Halle Berry?
Megan Fox ?
Reese Whitherspoon (sp?)
Not sure who this is, but good for her. Bet she watched Miss Representation. I wish more women (and men!) would take note.
I love that documentary! I’ve recommended it to so many people.
Natalie Portman
I’m pretty sure Portman is known for her cerebral roles almost as much as she is for her physical beauty.
She also has a college degree. Not vapid enough to not know she’s part of the problem. I will say that the first name that popped into my head was Elizabeth Berkeley.
Yes, Portman went to Harvard and received her degree in Psychology.
megan fox? jessica biel? kate beckinsale?
I am on the Jessica Biel bandwagon.
I would guess that this is either Megan Fox or Sharon Stone.
Jessica Alba?
Megan Fox lol
Megan Fox
Pam Anderson?
Anne Hathaway.
Megan Fox.
Actually Natalie Portman doesn’t seem like someone who is that out of touch. I’m changing my guess to Scarlett Johansson.
Aaaaaaand I just saw this second comment.
has to be someone easily impressionable, hot, and not able to think for herself. scarlett johansson.
Megan Fox? I can’t imagine her studying though.
I think this is Scarlett Johansson
Megan Fox?
I could see Megan, Scarlett or Lindsay Lohan doing this.
I can’t see Lindsay doing anything that requires thinking for more than three to five minutes at any given time.
Megan Fox. She had her Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed because she felt it did not show women in a good light (Marilyn was sexploited).
Shannon Doherty. She is doing that online University thing.
lol
Keira knightly?
wasnt there an earlier BI revealed already about Jennifer Garner taking classes at UCLA so she could have more stimulating conversations that would impress her husband? With 2 daughters at home I could see her not wanting to take any more parts that objectify women though I’m not sure what clips they could have played from any previous roles…
Jennifer Garner obviously exploits her feminine appeal but she’s also played the highly skilled, self empowered, heroic woman in more than one role so I can’t see this being her ESPECIALLY when there are so many women out there that are well known for just looking pretty.
Megan Fox was the first that came to mind.
I’d really like this to be Megan Fox.
And bravo to whoever it is.
Megan Fox. She seems like she has good intentions, though may be a little naive, etc.
Maybe Elizabeth Berkley…
No clue … But I’m pleased to see she was enlightened. Unforch, that’s going to exclude her from the majority of movie roles that call for attractive actresses.
I’m betting it’s Scarlett, as she pretends to be an intellectual like her ex, the dictator-loving Sean Penn.
She’s just now waking up to the fact that her appearance is a major factor in getting her roles? Not exactly a rocket scientist, is she?
This BI reminds me of a piece in Vanity Fair – I think by James Wolcott – a few years back, wondering why so many feminists love Woody Allen films (of course Scarlett was one of his “muses”), when so often the women are reduced to getting on their knees to service a homely Allen. Yuck.
ScarJo, yeah, she totally gets caught up in her aspirational obsessions: Tom Waits, Sean Penn…
My first thought was Ashley Judd, but who knows.
When I think of actresses who get roles primarily because of their looks, I think of Jessicas Alba and Biel and Megan Fox.
I’m not a ScarJo fan so it pains me to say this, but while she is definitely known for her looks, she’s gets way more respect for her acting (and has done more quality films) than the other 3 who are in movies strictly for the T&A.
Julia Stiles?
Not sure as to the actress but “Miss Representation” has to be the documentary: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=14106347
Geena Davis was mentioned; perhaps her?
Whoever she is, she needs to grow up. Men are sexualized all the time. Feminism is pretty much about the fear of sex and sexuality. Or at least the fear of heterosexual sex. She got brainwashed, and is probably going to ruin her career. Good luck with that.
It took *that* to let her know she had some roles that are objectifying. She seems a bit slow. Also, I find it laughable that actors and actresses get all miffed about being noticed for their looks. Acting *is* a visual medium. People are cast because of the way they look all the time.
Jessica Alba FTW!
She hasn’t had a movie in how long? She’s not a dummy so I could see her studying and coming across this. Her resume is chocked full of movies where she’s gotten the role because of her looks.
It was probably a clip from Sin City where she played a stripper. In that gold diver movie with Paul Walker she was awful. She’s not a great movie actress so she’s definitely gotten roles for her looks.
But since she got knocked up then shotgun marriage she’d been trying to change her tune yet she’s out of work and a serial red carper B-actress slowly moving down the alphabet. If she keeps not working she’ll be in the Cs soon.
Look at her in Fantastic Four. I HAD to wiki her to even remember what she’s been in. Who the crap picked her for Sue Storm? Did they really think some her skin tone would look right with blue contacts and bleach blond hair?
She got the role because her body looked good in the spandex suit.
I don’t get these directors try so hard to work against a person’s natural coloring. It’s distracting when you watch a movie. lol
Yours truly?
Sharon Stone for something different. I’m not sure if she is considered a “B ” list actress anymore.
I’m changing my guess to Jennifer Beal. The picture reminds me of Flash Dance.
ScarJo?
Like Bigbong theory and Capt. Obvious, I am positive that the movie is Miss Representation. I watched it again recently, and I would be willing to put money on Blake Lively as the actress. There are clips in the documentary of her sucking her finger, and her overall image is very sexualized; especially on red carpets and in movies where you always see the cleavage and exposed long legs.
