Her myspace page states she is a "Actress/model".
Does she have any credits as a real actress?
Define a "real" actress?
I'm not saying you're doing this (and God knows it's what others push), I don't really care for the insistence of people to define for others what they really are or who they are. If a pornstar wants to call herself a model or actress, then by all means, that is what she is, regardless of what she has been in or not. Same deal with people who want to change their name, stage and/or real.
Besides, I really loathe not merely the attitude of Hollywood and media, but the greater issues of celebrity that are pushed by such a small minority, but influencial portion (in advertising of the US.
I don't think so. It is amazing because she is absolutely stunning. You would think she could get an extra part in a movie or something.
There is a stigma and reservation that seems to be applied to actresses and models in general by Hollywood and the media. They use it as a filter to limit and scan through applications, and it reduces the overall number.
To stretch, but maybe it's a good analogy, I would say this is akin to companies that don't hire people without college degrees or other, often irrelevant requirements, for positions where it is not required for the position. It's just a filter they use to get the applications down.
