Which shows the white Green Lantern character portrayed by a white actor”.

Here’s a vintage ad! Of an iron!

From Ragnell:

There’s a quote in there about how Jessica Alba was directed in FF2, where basically she was told to tone down her acting because it messed up her face. The article, of course, glosses over it, and the comments are horrifying but it seems like you guys would be interested in it.
