CaveGirl Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Do others get sick and tired of polls detailing all the enviable qualities of others, when it is so much more fun to talk about the less appealing characteristics of almost anyone. In comparison, then one feels great knowing they are better looking than Jack Elam or Judy Canova hopefully. Of course this will be very subjective, knowing that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder but you heard it here first. Who are the least attractive, we can even say maybe revolting looking stars of the silver screen? Nominate your male and female choices here, and we can submit the final tally to Facebook. Try to pick people who are dead so we don't hurt anyone's feelings! I've already given two choices but I might also add that woman who starred in films of John Waters, her name was Edith Something* if I recall. I'm sure someone here will give me her last name as I'm too tired to look it up.*Massey [hope she wasn't related to Raymond!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaveGirl Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Won't we hurt the feelings of their descendants who resemble them? Who cares! Call me insensitive, call me callous but that's the way I roll. They might be living off their inheritances earned by their famous relatives, while we slave here trying to find fun in talking about movies. Go for it, Down.

Dargo Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Well first here CG, I never thought Judy Canova was all that awful looking... Perhaps it's just that with that "rubber face" of hers and which she pretty much used as her calling card, such as this... ...you might only recall her in this manner. Of course then again, I MIGHT be "coming to her defense" here because I always thought her daughter Diana(best remembered for the TV sitcom "Soap") was very very cute. Okay, and now for my pick of an "aesthetically challenged" actor and actress... Edward G. Robinson Judith Anderson (...BOTH of course terrific thespians, but boy oh boy, it sure was a GOOD thing they were, 'cause they sure wouldn't have made it on their looks alone!)

Judy Canova is a glamour girl compared to that chick in the film "Crybaby" named Kim McGuire. The title of her character says it all, she played Mona "Hatchet-Face" Malnorowski. I think Waters had a talent for finding people who were beauty challenged. Eddie G. is a not the best looking but does have dignity, as does Miss Judith. Is this really the best you can do for my thread? I expect so much more from you, ya know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Well, Rondo was voted the handsomest boy in his senior class, ya know, Dargo and stayed that way till the acromegaly started affecting his looks. But yeah, I do still find him kinda cute.

TopBilled Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Edward G. Robinson Judith Anderson (...BOTH of course terrific thespians, but boy oh boy, it sure was a GOOD thing they were, 'cause they sure wouldn't have made it on their looks alone!) They played brother and sister in THE RED HOUSE. The younger cast included matinee idol Rory Calhoun and vixen Julie London. So we were too busy looking at Calhoun and London to even notice Robinson and Anderson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny you say that, TB since I was just watching my dvd of that movie and laughing about how little alike Eddie and Judy appear to be as relations. Rory was always kind of low rent looking to me, like a somewhat attractive gas station attendant, no offense to gas station attendants, but Julie was lovely in everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the original story of THE RED HOUSE, which is obscured by the production code, the girl Anderson raises is her illegitimate granddaughter and Robinson is actually obsessing about his niece.

Did Eddie, ahem, "cry a river" over her in that movie, TB?! Well, even if he didn't, I can certainly understand his "obsession" for her, anyway. Gotta admit I was always a little "obsessed" with the sexy Miss London, myself. (...yep, and even when she was a little past her prime and playing that nurse on TV's "Emergency") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...yep, and even when she was a little past her prime and playing that nurse on TV's "Emergency") The character played by Julie was a high school classmate who caused trouble for everyone. But Allene Roberts played the girl who was raised by Anderson and Robinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the couple of Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler. Not only were they unattractive, but seemed to have faces straight out of the 19th century. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
