Great mystery show with the strangest looking heroine ever. Unbelievably, in England she is considered beautiful. Like Patricia Hodge.
Follow Ups:

...interesting looking. Her character in the series is not supposed to look like a movie star y'know.
...about who's pretty and who's not. What matters is character, integrity, and substance. Not if you happen to think someone is pretty or not. You can express all your opinions about movies and how good performances are, etc, but if you'd just stop adding these adolescent touches it would be appreciated by me and I'll bet by a bunch of others.If all you can think about when watching Honeysuckle Weeks in her Foyle's role is that she's not pretty enough then I say you lack the basic ability to accept a drama on it's own terms. This means your opinions are suspect because you get hung up on things that don't matter in terms of the drama itself.
Are you truly unaware that in many dramas a performer's natural beauty is intentionally maksed because it's better for the character that way? Charlize Theron's "Monster" is certainly a good example.
What is it they say..."beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" The most significant thing in the apprehension of beauty is the predisposition of the subject, not the object. If you lack beauty within yourself it's harder to see it manifested in others.
good or bad looking. Did you voice your indignation then??
Do I get special treatment?
In short, I don't care what you think.
STFU.
...yes I have voiced my indignation a number of other times.
I think one rule to follow is how might a given post make a woman reading the listserv feel. Let's say there's a woman member who considers herself homely and has had a bad experience being teased at some point about it. Or it could be a beautiful woman who has seen her friends made fun of for their looks. How might she feel reading a post where someone who is really quite normal looking is referred to as "strange" looking just because she has the temerity to be both unbeautiful and in a movie or TV show? She might say to herself, "Gee, they could be talking about me" and feel ridiculed by reflected meaning.
I'm only of medium height and wouldn't have minded being a bit taller. If I participated in a list where the women frequently said insensitive, disparaging things about guys under 6 feet tall I would be put off by that.
In the end what I'm really saying is that you ought to be careful to express yourself with a little more circumspection so that you avoid causing unnecessary hurt in other people. You might say I'm doing the same thing with you but it's not based on an accident of genetics and appearance, but on your behavior. I think it's a different thing.
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.
...that you'd be the one to come to DUI's defense...
