Is talent still what makes a pop culture icon, or has appearance taken over? A TikToker named Faith, who goes by @trainingforamazing on the platform, has ignited a debate about the type of Hollywood faces being “rewarded” in the 21st century.
In her viral video, which has racked up 7 million views, Faith used a photo of actress Karen Allen’s “real face” from the 1980s film Scrooged.
“This is her real face. This is a very real, like, smile lines around the eyes, a gummy smile. And I’m not saying that is a bad thing. I think she has a beautiful smile,” she explained.
