She should have had brown eyes


I think Angelina Jolie did a great job but she should have worn brown contacts. One of the huge things about Gia was that she had brown eyes, not the typical blue-eyed blonde. She broke the barrier for non-traditional models.


And when you tell a story, have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.

You are exactly right. You don't use a light eyed girl to play a dark eyed girl.
AJ didn't have the same build as Gia either.
It's a shame Cindy Crawford isn't a good actress because she would have been perfect to play Gia as she was named Baby Gia.

I came on here to say the exact same thing...unfortunate, erasure almost.

THANK YOU!! That's one thing that really bothers me, since Gia's deep brown eyes were sultry and sexy, and gave her that extra edge. There's no reason (or excuse) for her not to have been wearing brown contacts. Strange actually.
