She is one of Hollywood's hottest young rising stars - recently been hailed as evidence for woke culture being in the decline. But now Sydney Sweeney has been fiercely blasted by one of Hollywood's top female producers.

'She's not pretty, she can't act,' claims Carol Baum, whose films include Father of the Bride and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

She has a good bod. If she didn’t have large boobs she might be ignored.

A long time ago when I was living in NYC, I dated an actress briefly (she was a sociopath). She was a pretty girl, but her acting portfolio made her look like an angel (and she most certainly wasn't).

The job of portfolio photographers is to create unrealistically beautiful images. Their subjects look nothing like their photos.

Sydney Sweeney may be a wonderful person (or not), but she isn't a pretty girl.

As I’ve said, everybody can look bad in some pics. Very few can look as hot as she looks in several pics....and no, its not just “glam pics”. She’s quite hot. I’m willing to bet the vast majority of healthy red blooded males share that opinion.

She looks vacuous and clueless. Not pretty at all, just young.

If I knew who Sydney Sweeney was I might care. But I don’t...so I don’t.

She’s much better looking than 90% of the women around here (in this so-called paradise) :^p

Here's an entire page of her pics (link to images). I think she's an unattractive young woman when not glammed up for a photo shoot.

But I appreciate that you may disagree. Men have different tastes in women (thank God).

"A girl is only as beautiful as she is without makeup"


I prefer relaxed (no make-up), but wouldn't want to push it.. women can be dangerous 🤐

I do not know anything about acting but what is the basis of saying Miss Sweeney in "not pretty"? Freepers are free to post evidence concerning Miss Sweeney's prettiness. I am curious what Ms. Baum considers "pretty"?

I try to stay out of the "prettiness" chatter, as it seems ungentlemanly to be dissecting young women's facial features. They are who they are and I have a great respect for those who avoid plastic surgery. That said, this is Hollywood we're talking about. Almost all of the young women are 7.5 or higher on the standard 1-10 scale -- and kudos to the scattered exceptions who make successful careers, generally as supporting actors, despite rather plain looks. Since I am a gentleman, I will leave the ladies out of it, but Willem Dafoe and Steve Buscemi are two good go-to examples on the male side.

Steve Buscemi famously remarked that the luckiest break in his career was never getting his teeth fixed. He's very upfront about it. With perfect teeth, he'd be just another guy with very average looks; instead, he's distinctive and that has paid off.

Personally, I think the same is true on the female side. Each to his own, but I am bored with "Algorithm Girl," the innumerable clones of the 20-something hotties that producers seem to think are the lowest common denominator chicks to attract the random male gaze.

Florence Pugh gave an interview a couple of years ago about the advice she got from some studio hotshot when she was just starting out. She was still a teenager. The creep told her that she could never succeed in the industry unless she had serious work done: a new nose, new chin, new cheeks (e.g. buccal fat removal, etc.), etc. She didn't mention anything about starving herself or going on meds to shed weight or going in for fake boobs, but it wouldn't surprise me if that those were on the list as well. She said that she was demoralized to the point of almost quitting acting, but she decided to stick to her natural looks and she's done pretty well for herself. IMHO, the best of the young actresses all have slightly off-brand looks that make them distinctive. It's an intangible thing, but I suspect that the gals with slightly off-brand looks have to make it on the basis of acting ability, and that tells over time if they can first get established.

Sydney Sweeney? I had to laugh at this:

Referencing the producing class she teaches at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Baum added: 'I said to my class, "Explain this girl to me. She's not pretty, she can't act. Why is she so hot?''

'Nobody had an answer but then the question was asked, "Well if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it?"

Every student in that class knew the answer but political correctness prevented them from saying it. Sydney Sweeney has big boobs and she has been by far the nakedest of the current under-30 cohort of rising actresses. That has always been a path to success in the movie industry, but IMHO it is a negative. The fact is, most actresses will never do nudity onscreen -- but as they rise into the breakout zone of becoming a major star, the producers obviously start pushing them to strip off. I have a great deal of respect for those who say no, even though it probably limits their careers in many instances.

In a lot of people, especially on the Left, we know that beauty is only skin-deep.

In her case, she missed the mark!

Sydney Sweeney works as a mechanic on the side when she's not acting

That just proves “the miracle of makeup,” doesn’t it?
