Sela Ward - Queen of the Undead?

Since this is IMHO:

Does anyone else think Sela Ward looks like the Queen of the Undead in most all of the Sprint commercials? They always make her look so pale, and normally dress her in black or else portray her against a dark background. The effect makes for a huge contrast with her skin, and she looks to me as if she just walked out of an Anne Rice novel. My SO disagrees - does anyone else agree?

Now that you mention it, she could be one of the Mayfair witches.

But there’s too much life in her face and sparkle in her eyes for her to look really undead.

:slight_smile: always kids me that I’m in love with Sela Ward.
And tees thinks she’s hot, and he’s a generation younger.

Here’s the link:

** Sela Ward in the Sprint commercials**

Uhhh…please, nobody click on that link above - it’s not what it claims to be, and is somewhat disturbing.

(hears the stampede of people running to click on the forbidden link…)

Gosh, I wouldn’t mind being the Queen of the Undead if I looked like her.

Please note, I am not saying she is not a lovely woman - just that the Sprint commercials seem to really cast her in an “undead” light, so to speak.

Sela Ward is, by far, the sexiest woman on prime time TV these days.

Yumm. :slight_smile:

Darn!

I don’t think we get these commercials here in England.

But I’m afraid whatever Sela Ward looks like, she’s no. 2 in the ‘Queen of the Undead’ stakes. (stakes, geddit?!)

And the no. 1 is … Salma Hayek (as a vampire in that Quentin Taranteno / George Clooney movie, whose name temporarily escapes me)

Experience shows that dopers normally take about 15 mins to identify film names - your time starts NOW!

From Dusk Till Dawn

Does this mean Montfort and I get to share the gold? :smiley:

Given it takes time to find out I’ve asked a question in the post, I think you two are amazing!

Lowered the average response time too :wink:

Well, the thin air up there does make it hard to think clearly… :slight_smile:
Just kidding.

I think the narrow-mindedness that is being leveled at the FC’s stems from their refusal to admit to basic proveable scientific facts that conflict with their belief system instead chosing to ‘have faith’ and evidential fact to the contrary be damned.

Whoa!!! I was just in the ‘gay bashing …’ thread :confused:

Well, she certainly has a beautiful face, but I know what you mean - she does seem awfully pale in those things. Also, what exactly is the idea in those comercials anyway? She is in an all-black getup, suspended from a harness of the sort Tom Cruise used to break into CIA headquarters in Mission:Impossible, and she’s flinging herself, with many flips and somersaults, through…a large bargain discount store. Dropping from the ceiling to deliver the good news about Sprint’s phone service to shoppers who were puzzling over jumbo size bags of kitty litter and paint cans. Huh?

Is this the result of:
(Please choose one)

  1. The advertisers licking toads;
  2. My own personal ignorance of the connection between trapeze acts, kitty litter, and telecommunications that everyone else finds perfectly obvious;
  3. A secret society flaunting their special symbols to the other cognoscenti, and laughing at all of us ordinary folks trustingly living our day-to-day lives in complacent ignorance of the secret world-government conspiracy;
  4. The inevitable effects of an entire panel of writers, each of whom had their own vision for the commercial but none of whom could cement a powerful enough bloc with the editors to force a single, shaping, concept;
  5. A perverse result of the FCC’s censorship policies, which altered in a largely random way the original commercial’s three-way lesbian orgy between Ms. Ward, Cameron Diaz, and Cindy Crawford (“Okay, you can keep the trapeze and the leather jumpsuit, but here…this part right here has to go”);
  6. The complete abandonment by Madison Avenue of any pretence of respect for the television viewers’ ability to register absurdity or desire to see plausible coherence in the pablum they are being constantly spoon-fed.

APB9999 - you are on the money. On all counts, esp. the lesbian one. :wink:

Yes, she’s a hottie.

But yes, now that you mention it, she does look like the Queen of the Undead (as Anthracite pointed out, dark clothing contrasted with fair skin does not help).

Oh, and whatever that link was to, it’s gone now…

…she looks old.

She has been the star of many of my more elaborate sexual fantasies since she donned the wires and leathers. Mucho Caliente! She gets more beautiful as she gets older.
