Honestly, would any actress this side of Kathy Bates be getting any work if they weren’t busty hotties? I mean, 90% of the actresses getting work today fit that description. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Why was that ad banned? Pretty girl in tight clothes–sounds like the basis of all good advertising…ever. It was for a 2001 Japanese ad campaign. A lot of Hollywood actors do commercials there and were afraid that if it was made common knowledge here in the US it could damage their reputation. If I recall correctly these [finger quote]banned[/finger quote] commercials were persued vigorously when they first started appearing on the internet. But something about pee in a pool and the fact that nobody’s carreer appears to have been harmed I think they’ve stopped caring. ---

Actually, no. Oscar has a well-known aversion to busy hotties, which is why busty gals with ambitions like Christina Ricci and Jennifer Connelly have had breast reduction surgery once they get within shootin’ range. Most top actresses are very skinny women with average size breasts at best. ---

Most top actresses are very skinny women with average size breasts at best. Not to sidetrack this thread, but I hardly recognized Jennifer Connelly when she won her Oscar for _A Beautiful Mind_. She was still glamorous, but practically emaciated compared to her 1991 performance in \*The Rocketeer \* (where she played Bettie Page under a different name), which cemented her as the most gorgeous mainstream actress of our time. ---

I think so, but I’m kinda biased as I have had a huge crush dating back to when I was a kid and she was on Kids Incorporated. So if anyone here has dibs, it’s me. ---

Call me crazy, but I’ve always preferred [Lacy Chabert.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000327/) Not as busty, but a little cuter, I think. ---

> [@BwanaBob](#): > > Is this documented anywhere, that these two actresses definitively had surgery, or is this speculation based on “what we see”? Google their names and the phrase “breast reduction” and you’ll get many hits alleging such surgery. Dunno how one would DISPROVE a claim of “breast reduction” surgery – but they’re certainly out there … a lot of them. ---

I didn’t know she was the voice of Eliza Thornberry. I never watched the show, but that’s still pretty cool. As for JLH, great boobies, but I could iron a shirt on that ass. I wouldn’t turn down the chance to test out that theory, though. What were we talking about again? ---

Worse - I work at a Government agency headquarters. Basically, most things like pictures, movies and music are verboten. Some get through the filter, some not. Luckily, I a:) have never been dinged for hitting these warning pages…maybe if I was actually surfing for porn I would. and b:) tomorrow is my last day at that particular agency, so they can kiss my tittie-lovin’ ass. Now that I’m home and can look at titties with impunity, I think JLH is a hottie and would make an appealing sex partner, but I don’t consider her all that busty. (um, maybe I’m a little spoiled as far as that goes - I’m married to some 38DDs 😃 😃 )\* \*Yes, I’m a pig, but I’m a very loving pig ---

Dagnabbit…and here I was all ready to get cocky because I’d called **DIBS!** on her for [“Byrds of Paradise.”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108716/) I snooze, I lose, I guess. Still, I’d certainly also put my vote in for Lacey Chabert. “Party of Five” would have completely failed to hook me if it hadn’t been for those two. And I have thought that since the very first episode of _PoF_ (even though JLH didn’t join the cast until later). Lacey has always been a major fox. Have you seen a movie called “Tart”? Lacey, Mischa Barton, Dominique Swain, and others. Not claiming that it’s a cinematic masterpiece, but…look at the roster of actresses… Just sayin’… ---

Most top actresses are very skinny women with average size breasts at best. There’s a reason. Gay males control the Academy. No, just funnin’. But the _real_ reason is that award nominees are expected – and presumably very well paid – to act as platforms for top designers. And nowadays, that means being model-thin. But I mourn the loss of Connelly’s and Ricci’s breasts, surely four of the finest gonzagas ever to grace the big screen. And I agree Connelly today looks emaciated –not to mention hard and jaded. ☹ But it’s business. ---
