Anyone ever notice this?
What’s up with that, anyway? Being a stunningly attractive natural blonde, and having a touch of Marty Feldman, seem to go together somehow. Did their Scandinavian ancestors have to adapt to surveying both walls of a fjord at the same time, or what?
Really? Large eyes, either natural or enhanced with makeup are a photogenic feature, but those women don’t have huge bulging eyeballs.
I mean wall-eyed as in eyes seeming to point in different directions. Look at the picture of young Bridgette Bardot for the most obvious example – her left eye appears as if she’s looking directly in front of her, while her right eye gazes off somewhere to her right. The other three photos aren’t quite as obvious, but depending on the angle I’ve definitely seen Heather Graham and Georgina Haig with exactly the same look at times.
From what I understand, “wall-eyed” means that the eyes are misaligned, not that they’re large. Although perhaps having large eyes gives the impression that they diverge? Perhaps some eyes appear large because they diverge?
If large eyes and wall-eyedness are strongly correlated, then actors, especially actresses whose looks were an integral part of their success, will tend to be large-eyed and be more likely to be wall-eyed.
Wall-eyed means having light-colored, nearly white eyes. It doesn’t have anything to do with alignment. Cite.
Except that it does. It’s the opposite of cross-eyed. That’s one of several sources cited in your link. The reason the eyes are white is because one is off, staring at the wall.
Many of those cites acknowledge “wall-eyed” as having a second commonly understood definition as "strabismus in which the eye turns outward away from the nose.
You may want to try clicking on several of those links before making such a categorical statement.
Did you notice that your link had a caveat below the definition? 
If you put walleyed into the same search you get the following definition:
Lesson learned.
I hope.

Man, your (detail-specific, understandable) ignorance has been fought, beaten, pounded and curb stomped into the fucking ground.
This came up first searching ‘wall eyed definition’:
I thought it meant large bulging eyes, apparently it has varying definitions.
Yeah, exotropia.
Back on the direct topic, I really only see it in Heidi Klum. My usual definition for wall-eyed is if I have trouble deciding which eye is looking at me.
Those women aren’t fish-shaped at all.
Amanda Seyfried’s got something going on with her eyes. Weird, but not in a bad way.
No, I think it refers to women who give birth to 400,000 children, the vast majority of which get eaten before being born.
Those women have eyes?
If we’re talking about goofy-eyed women, can I mention Emmanuel Vaugier?
What in the world are you talking about? Not a single one of those women has uncentered eyes. Bardot is just the photo angle.
Many newscasters and speeching celebs look a little cross-eyed because they have one eye on their teleprompter and the other one sort of tries to look directly at the camera.
