OH yes, we wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings by expressing

our personal opinion of another person's looks.
E, you're nuts. At least on this subject.
You may not like it but a major part of a leading lady's attraction to an audience, especially the male half, is her appearance, her female magnetism. Roseanne Barr as Ophelia. In a straight drama. I suppose one could cast her. And you probably would scream out to give her a chance, dammit!
Not long ago, I saw a ballet performed by a bunch of quite overweight, though athletic, ballerinas. They thundered about on the stage, their sheer bulk eliminating any chance of grace. Gymnastic? Yes. Artistic? Uh, no.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think you're trying to say, but there are reasons the public (and I mean it dating back to the beginning of Western Art) has accepted certain characteristics as being attractive--- or beautiful--- and others as not.
Anyhow, I think Penelope Cruz is a babe and a believable love interest. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a shapeless, Nixon-nosed, lumpen-faced, dead-eyed bore.
Get over it.
