I'm in the middle of rewatching Revenge and I have to agree that in this TV show she looks pretty bad, like to effort at all to make her appear attractive. Of course the first thing I ever saw her in was Backdraft as young Baldwins love interest and in that she was real pretty. I caught Road to Perdition when it came out, but kind of only paid attention b/c it was kind of a bore of a film for me.

I guess it's pretty much the same as with Monster (2003) Pretty scary how bad both Charlize Theron & Christina Ricci both looked in that film, and both are very beautiful ladies.

I thought she looked great for 50 in Hateful Eight.

I just posted a thread similar to this. The dark hair definitely gives her that look. When blond she looks so pretty and more ethereal. Not that lighter hair does that for everyone. There are many angelic raven haired people as well.

She has this death stare and slight grin that is unmistakable. Seemed like a demon in Hateful Eight.

She's not bad.
