OMG, have you noticed that too? I always laugh at how every single model and movie star had to be an outcast. One reason I've always liked Meryl Streep is I remember reading somewhere that she was basically...not super popular I don't think, but yeah, she was a cheerleader or something, just a normal girl who was socially successful. She didn't actually need to be a misunderstood genius to be a really good actress.
But my favorite was this classic article about Gwyneth Paltrow I read after she did Emma. I must have mentioned it before because it blew me away it was so annoying--not entirely GP's fault, even, but I've never been able to watch her since. And it was hilarious listening to her try to talk about herself as having suffered socially in school when what she was describing was clearly popular group infighting? Which yeah, that can be hard too, but why not just say that instead of trying to couch it in terms of Gwyneth being an outcast she clearly wasn't?
