I don't particularly approve of most cosmetic surgery*, so I think it's a move in the right direction if Hollywood directors and casting people are starting to prefer to cast actresses who haven't had it.

But this article sure brings home the "defined by your appearance; damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation that most women find themselves in.

*which is different from disapproving of people for choosing to get it.

Oh, it's a textbook case of the classism/sexism issues around appearance, particularly female appearance. Thanks, I guess, for bringing it to my attention.
