Acting out

Why would you write something like this? Beauty does not preclude intellect nor talent. This is sort of the opposite of the halo effect, I guess? The assumption that someone attractive canโ€™t do anything but sit around looking at herself in the mirror, or would want to.

Not sure. But Emily was truly genuinely good in Gone Girl. Wish sheโ€™d act more (yes, I know she has, some). She killed it in that role, as short as it was.
