I liked it. Not a fan of these kinda of movies in general. I like Tanya Tucker. She was a tough cookie and a bad girl in her day. But seriously folks. Could they have not gotten the Hollywood dream team working on her looks? She looked mostly horrible. I know she has scars on her face from some beauty treatment but look what they can do in movies and TV. She was a fair actor, I thought. (A little non-asked-for Trivia about Tucker: she was in the movie “Jeremiah Johnson”) ---

Believe it or not, I watched it mainly for the sake of Olivia Sanabia (“Anna”), a gifted young actress best known, I dare say, for _Just Add Magic_. (Right now, she’s in Laguna, playing Dorothy in an American Christmas panto (!) called _The Wonderful Winter of Oz_.) ---

I know she has scars on her face from some beauty treatment but look what they can do in movies and TV. It’s very sad that her looks upset you, and that production didn’t fix her face before you had to experience it. Maybe you could write to all involved and ask them to use more attractive actresses in the future. ---

High-definition cameras are not friendly to most people. I was going to write “over a certain age,” but really, HD images are not kind to almost anyone. ---

I’ve decided they wanted to make her look an older part. I’ve seen her dolled up. She can do it. She did it on her Reality show a lot. She’s in her mid 60s. I’m pretty sure her hair isn’t really silver, either. @needscoffee, did not mean it like that at all. You know music stars and actors will break their necks for good looks, new treatments, wigs, shapewear. I didn’t create the industry. I’m a consumer. Just an opinion, on my part. Of a music star I like. ---

I also discovered that Tanya was the subject of a documentary earlier this year, featuring a new album that she made with Brandi Carlile. > **[The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile (2022) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17640752/)** > > The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile: Directed by Kathlyn Horan.
