She looks about as old and well maintained as many of my childhood friends look these days. I’m in my early forties, but some of my friends have hit the mid-forties.
I don’t get the OP’s “bimbo”. She’s a woman. She’s not old,fat and ugly so she’s a bimbo?
So, you’re upset that an attractive actress got a job on a television show? 'Cause that never happens… :rolleyes:
I think it’s hilarious that the OP is the one who complained about misogyny in this thread. And yet she can’t handle the idea that someone who’s a. attractive and b. a woman could possibly be successful in life due to her own work.
Because all attractive women are brainless bimbos, of course.
No, I’m just tired of attractive actresses in EVERYTHING.
Look, I grew up in the sixties and seventies. Back then, you had your Edith Bunker, your Granny Clampett, your Florida Evans, your Lucille Carmichael, your LaVerne and Shirley, your Cagney and Lacey and so on. Sure there were your sex symbols like Elly Mae and Wrangler Jane on F Troop. But even Charlie’s Angels had the believeable looking Kate Jackson.
It’s happening to male roles too, just not as drastically. You would think women died immediately after menopause these days.
Now get off my lawn.
Who would you have cast in the role?
George Costanza’s mother comes to mind, since Florence Halop is dead.
What about Betty White? She should be old enough to do the role justice, and she hasn’t been a bimbo in years.
So you’re saying that anyone who’s good looking is a bimbo and always will be regardless of their accomplishments?
Jennifer Beals wasn’t even a bimbo in her most famous role in Flashdance. She played a welder, for pete’s sake!
Ah, but what a welder!
More cast photos of Chicago Code:
Attractive, but non-bimbo, I’d say.
I could swear she showed them at least once in the first or second season. Don’t quote me on that though.
I had similar thoughts on Jennifer Beals being the head Chicago cop, though not going so far as calling her a bimbo myself. I can’t recall seeing any good looking female Chicago cops, no offense to female Chicago cops.
They could have her in a bikini, with a stripper pole in her office and it would still be more realistic than the premise of Blue Bloods.*
