Dear Famous Botoxed Actress....

Dear Famous Botoxed Actress,

I've recently read articles about you and other actors like you; read about how much you love Botox and what it's done for your confidence. I appreciate that when you look in the mirror and see an unlined face, you must feel fantastic - like you've cheated time and regained a decade. What I'm sure you don't do is see what we see. We being the audience. What we see is a freaky face that doesn't move, emote or resemble anyone other than Barbie/Ken doll. The unlined face may be great for you, but it's not great for us. I find myself being so fascinated and appalled by the frozen features of an actor that I miss out on what's going on. The actor can't fade into a character under those circumstances. And I also ask you how you can be a character when your face shows no character - how can an unlined baby-like face be a person of interested and depth?

I'm sure these words won't change your mind but I do ask that you think about them before your next appointment with the needle.

Yours sincerely

Concerned member of the audience
