You may disagree but I've seen women get trashed in print and on the internet for not meeting those standards. It's not like in the States, it's venomous. I don't think Sandra Oh is particularly attractive but she is wonderful in Grey's Anatomy and if you've ever seen it, Sideways. I've never thought of Meryl Streep as ravishing yet her acting is unsurpassed.

Basically, a person's face may be attractive in real life (3D), but won't look not as attractive on film because of the 2D polarizing effect. In other words, many fashion models are not that great looking in real life but look great on film and a people with a perfectly well proportioned face may be unfit to be fashion models because they only look good from one angle on film, which is kind of boring and very limiting for the photographer. wjk,
