Re: Fw: Sybil and to Discuss Breast Implants, Plastic Surgery and Hollywood

[Guest guest]

I think it is pretty awesome that the casting call for the movie specifically

stated actresses with no breast implants. While it may hurt some women, I

think it sends a pretty strong message--one that I can agree with!

> Recently, when the producers of the next sequel of the Pirates of the

Caribbean sent out a casting call for female actresses, they specifically said

that they did not want any actresses with breast implants to audition.

Additionally, there have been several recent articles talking about how botox

has become an issue in film because you can't see any expressions on the actors'

faces.

abated and continues to pressure people working in the business, especially

young women, who now get work done when they are very young. This conversation

will discuss the impact of plastic surgery on entertainment, the double

standards for male and female performers in regard to appearance, and what we,

as film goers and TV watchers, can do to become part of the solution, not the

problem.
