I was invited to photograph Hollywood. They asked me what I would like to photograph. I said, Ugly men.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought I was attractive when I shot 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them.
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
I'm happy with the way I look but I'm not Hollywood beautiful.
My visibility may have gotten Hollywood to redefine what's attractive.
I tend to be shy in asking people for photos - other actors that I really like and admire.
I was not a Southern California girl. I hated having my photograph taken. I felt shy and embarrassed around famous people.
After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.
Hollywood can be an ugly place and it can do ugly things to you.
I don't know how Hollywood sees me.
I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.
