Totall OT: Chins on American actresses

[Sylvia Else]

When I first saw Reece Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde", my immediate
thought was that she was deformed, and I wondered why she would have
been cast.

But I've since noticed that protruding chins seem very common amongst
American actresses, leading me to wonder whether they reflect an
anatomical difference between American Caucasians, and Caucasians in
other countries. Or perhaps a cabal of chin-loving directors has taken
over US drama production.

What is, or is not, anatomically normal in a population, is purely a
matter of statistics, so I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with
these people.

Still, I wonder what others here think, both US and non US.

Sylvia.

I guess they never learned posture, in the marines, or never took
martial training.

The day of the toilet bowl jaw on male actors is long past.

Gal Gadot did.

Movie stars and fashion models are selected from the wider population,
based on fads about what "beauty" may be this year.

They all tend to look alike in any given year, especially when layers
of make-up are applied. Big heads, alike and boring.

There are many web sites that purport to present the 100 (or whatever)
most beautiful woman around now, or ever in history. Mostly yuk, in my
opinion.

Audrey Hepburn and Lauren Bacall were beautiful. Kiera Knightly is.
They usually make the top 100 list.

Some features look better on camera than in real life. It's just
the way it is in a 2d world

Likely because "casting criteria" involve more than physical appearances.
Seeing folks "cast" in other "roles" (*jobs*) for which appearance is low
on the priority list gives a wider sampling. Suni Williams?

I am most "intrigued" by folks with asymetric features. And, whether *they*
notice them in themselves, or not.

Pointy chins are certainly popular among American actresses:

Some have had cosmetic chin surgery.

However, some women don't like it:

A dimpled or cleft (butt) chin is also fashionable for male American
actors:

I like to point out that most Americans genome can be traced back
th Europe. So we're basically European.
