Very true though. The public likes to see the "Pretty People" in their movies and love scenes. Let's face it, the actors were not anything like the descriptions in the original story.
It is a cold reality in the work force too. Companies like to hire an attractive receptionist and sales reps. If you were born with exceptional good looks, you go alot farther in life that us who don't. :-\

Yes. Didn't the author describe Ennis as a "buck tooth youth" or something like that? That is a far cry from Heath Ledger! Still, I sure was happy to see Heath up there on the screen. :)

Hi David,
Proulx describes her version of Jack as having an overbite. Jack is made significantly more glamourous in the movie.
:D

Great minds, Amanda! I just two minutes ago finished a post on this very subject in the "Randall really is" thread! :D

Amanda. Ah! Thank you. Yes, Jake Gyllenhaal is a far cry from Annie Proulx's description of Jack. :)

Annie said she thought Jake was "too pretty" for the part. If you've read the book, you know he is,
but I don't mind that at all! ;)
