Why do so many people think Miranda Otto is NOT attractive? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Does anyone remember Maid Marion from the English TV series Robin of Sherwood? Man, that was a cool TV programme...<P>Maid Marion had the same down to earth looks and presentation that Éowyn is given in the movies (great job by costume and makeup there by the way, Ngila Dickson is the greatest talent on set). But she was SO much more attractive than Miranda!! <P>Simply wearing no makeup doesn't automatically make you beautiful. If you want to make it into a feminist or anti-Hollywood rally, then you're content to ignore what either Liv Tyler or Miranda Otto really look like. Poor old Liv is being called unattractive because she is wearing makeup. Have all the Liv-haters out there forgotten that she is the most elven looking actress on the face of the planet? Even in interviews she has the ethereal quality that the role of Arwen would have failed without, and if makeup helps that then so be it.
