Totall OT: Chins on American actresses

Aug 19, 2024 Last reply: 1 year ago 6 Replies

When I first saw Reece Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde", my immediate thought was that she was deformed, and I wondered why she would have been cast.



But I've since noticed that protruding chins seem very common amongst American actresses, leading me to wonder whether they reflect an anatomical difference between American Caucasians, and Caucasians in other countries. Or perhaps a cabal of chin-loving directors has taken over US drama production.



What is, or is not, anatomically normal in a population, is purely a matter of statistics, so I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with these people.



Still, I wonder what others here think, both US and non US.

I guess they never learned posture, in the marines, or never took martial training.

The day of the toilet bowl jaw on male actors is long past.

Movie stars and fashion models are selected from the wider population, based on fads about what "beauty" may be this year.

They all tend to look alike in any given year, especially when layers of make-up are applied. Big heads, alike and boring.

There are many web sites that purport to present the 100 (or whatever) most beautiful woman around now, or ever in history. Mostly yuk, in my opinion.

Audrey Hepburn and Lauren Bacall were beautiful. Kiera Knightly is. They usually make the top 100 list.

Some features look better on camera than in real life. It's just the way it is in a 2d world

Pointy chins are certainly popular among American actresses:

Some have had cosmetic chin surgery.

However, some women don't like it: "I Used Filler to Get Rid of My Cleft Chin"

A dimpled or cleft (butt) chin is also fashionable for male American actors:

I like to point out that most Americans genome can be traced back th Europe. So we're basically European.
