Well, FWIW, I thought Hugh Laurie was gross on House. The acting was brilliant, but I’m glad House wasn’t my doctor. It was partly the unshaven look, and partly the fact that he was such a jerk. I thought he was cute as Bertie Wooster, but in a puppies and kittens way, not in “I want to go out with him” way. Actually, the only time I found him (very) attractive was [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b31TLayhvBs).

Well, I now think that **njtt** ’s [post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17655105&postcount=114) was meant to be sarcasm. i.e. it was a transparent attempt to twist [what I had said](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17655023&postcount=113) into something (s)he could be offended by.

So while it would be a pretty stupid opinion to hold, I think it’s a straw man here.

Julia Roberts is only attractive, and has only ever been attractive, to other women. There’s something about her look that women just adore. I think she has always been very odd-looking.

I thought she was beautiful in\* Mystic Pizza\*, but not since. I also haven’t really liked any of her movies since.

Oddly, I though her brief drag scene where she disguises herself as a man to avoid her insane ex-husband, in _Sleeping with the Enemy_, was amazing.

Everyone keeps saying that Laura Prepon is hot, so I guess I have to add her to the list. I’ve never once thought she seemed hot. She was the everyday girl to go with the everyday guy. There’s a reason she played Chelsea Handler in that show of hers.

Also, I’ve never seen her acting be any different than it was on that show. I don’t even think it was bad acting then. She brought in a lot making a character that on paper would not seem tolerable.

Nonsense. Julia Roberts is fairly attractive. Her mouth is a bit wide, and as she gets older, her nose seems more prominent, but I wouldn’t kick her out of bed.

[This](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/03/sarah-jessica-parker-elle-fashion_n_1936099.html) [woman](http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/154190484.jpg) is not ugly. Her eyes are a little narrow set and her nose a bit big, but she’s not hideous. That horse comparison picture linked earlier?

I realize that everybody has different tastes, but it sure gets annoying when people strive to say the most hateful things about someone to whom they aren’t attracted.

I think for me it’s a resentfulness that someone plain is cast as a quirky beauty when in reality she’s plain. Like Peter said, “Sarah Jessica Parker is on TV, and she looks like a foot.” She seems like a cool woman to hang out with (OK, my only evidence is Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee) but she is plain.

I disagree. That nyoobserver pic you just linked to? That’s ugly. It’s what ugly _is._ The one upthread is admittedly _uglier,_ but the pic you just now chose from among all others is, well, ugly. If I set a friend up on a blind date with a woman who looked like that, after calling her My Attractive Co-Worker or The Cute Receptionist At My Office or whatever, I’d genuinely expect a Dude What Did I Do To Piss You Off text.

I’m sure you can find The Most Flattering Picture of Steve Buscemi out there, which ain’t as bad as some of his pics, but, y’know, he’s still Steve Buscemi.

Well there is ugly and Hollywood ugly. When cute young Janeane Garafolo was cast as the “plain” girl (next to Uma Thurman of all people as the beauty) in “The Truth About Cats and Dogs” a lot of heads exploded, because Janeane Garafolo was kinda cute at the time. THAT’S “Hollywood ugly” a woman who is actually cute but is cast as “the plain one.” Other examples would be Dawn Wells as MaryAnne on Gilligan’s Island and Bailey Quarters on WKRP in Cincinnati, both cast as “regular gals” but who were both in fact flat-out beautiful.

And Sarah Jessica Parker, who, while not DEFORMED or HIDEOUS or anything, is quite clearly somewhere on the ugly spectrum, but gets cast as a beauty a lot. (That first Huffington Post pic a couple of posts upthread in particular, she looks like a particularly unconvincing female impersonator.)

Parker seems skilled at playing warm and funny, she can make a character appealing. I think that’s probably the secret of her success. It isn’t her looks.

Don’t forget: as a teen, [she played a gawky, homely character, who was supposed to be that way](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083482/?ref_=nv_sr_1).

Also, for a long time, she played the “cute, but not beautiful” sidekick, or the crush of a younger kid in a movie without a love interest. She played a nurse to a young boy in dire circumstances, who is the first person to show him compassion, twice, once in the Sci-fi _Flight of the Navigator_, and once in the very real _The Ryan White Story_. The first time she was ever supposed to be pretty was in Ed Wood, and then she was the shrewish, incompassionate first wife who dumps Wood, and finally he finds the softer, kinder Patricia Arquette. It very literal-- Parker has the sharp, angular face, while Arquette is rounder and softer.

I don’t think anyone ever thought of her as beautiful until _Sex and the City_, which I have never seen, so I will shut up now.

Not quite. She was the cute but ditzy salesgirl that Steve Martin has a fling with in _L.A. Story_, which was seven years before _Sex and the City_.

Ah, well, Steve Martin is an itch I can’t scratch, and the only movies I’ve seen with him are _Pennies from Heaven_ (Bernadette Peters love trumps Steve Martin hate) and _And the Band Played on_, where he was surprisingly good in a straight (meaning, non-comedic) role.

FWIW, some actors ooze so much sexuality, that it overcomes plainness. [Miriam Hopkins](http://38.media.tumblr.com/6b8dfba25aed53c0e5ee42ccf55cca0c/tumblr_mo9cyw9eUO1qf6a2zo1_500.jpg) wasn’t conventionally pretty, but she was really, really sexy, and also a hellava actress. Same thing for Jennifer Jason Leigh, when the character called for it. Sometimes the character called for crazy, and JJL was the go-to actress for crazy for a while. I always thought JJL was somehow plain in a very appealing way-- sort of the way I like my black and white movies black and white, the way G-d intended.

I was too old for the TV show _Square Pegs_ (and I was 15 when it was on, which tells you something), but I always liked Sarah Jessica Parker in her “sidekick,” and other non-leading roles. I don’t personally find her attractive, but I can certainly see how some people would.

Your image of Sarah Jessica Parker is a lot like mine in that it was formed by most of the stuff she did before _Sex and the City_ (a show, by the way, I rarely watched). However, that show was far more popular than anything she did so it cemented her image for the vast majority of viewers. I think a lot of the negative feedback SJP gets for being called beautiful has to do with her Carrie Bradshaw character. To a lot of males, she comes off as a neurotic high-maintenance clotheshorse who’s nowhere near attractive enough to be worth all the trouble.

When I look at her, I try to avoid thoughts like that because I know how young she is and it means I’m turning into a dirty old man.

Men watch _Sex and the City_? Normally, chick flicks are highly unappealing to me, and this show looked like a painfully extended chick flick. Maybe the stereotype of a certain kind of movie appealing to just about every woman, and virtually no men is just wrong.

Not by themselves. The stereotype is men will watch something like SATC with their SOs while women will watch at least part of a football game or some action movie with their SOs for the sake of their relationships.

I went with my wife to see “SATC 2” in the theatre. We sat furthest forward of all the patrons. Movie’s over, lights come up, people start down the steps–I’M THE ONLY MAN IN THE THEATRE!! :eek: 300 women giving me approving looks, thumbs ups, wistful I-wish-my-husband-would-blah-blah-blah looks, one woman says (to my face) **You’re racking up BIG husband points** (yeah, right); I don’t embarrass easily, but I wanted to crawl under the seat and die. Lousy movie, too.
