Thora Birch and the case of the thinning bleaching uglifying actresses
I wonder, what happened between this...
...and this...
I know, you're not Hollywood-bankable if you're not thin and preferrably blonde. But this is preposterous.
Jennifer Connelly.
Minnie Driver.
Christina Ricci.
Now Thora.
Next thing you know, Scarlett Johannson will have thighs like my wrist. Wait a minute... She was a redhead... now she's blond.

Yeah, the crack skank look really doesn't do a thing for me. I much preferred Lohan when she looked like a human being, she had the hotness then but now - ew.

I would need a better "today" picture to say one way or another if she looks worse today and she did back then since the "then" picture is just a head shot.

but i do wonder, do we say this because she simply looks freakish or because she isn't what we're used to?
plump. what a fun word.
alas, renee and thora need to have a pie eating contest. if they gain 10 pounds, they win.

Well, ignoring the watermarking she looks a lot better (IMO) in this shot:
I don't necessarily prefer the new look to the old, but I don't think it's anywhere near as bad a change as Lohan's.
I think she looks great in the shot here: http://us.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3...Birch,%20Thora (It wouldn't let me get the photo's location)

That's definitely the worst picture in the set. Here's a handful from the same place off her site:

Here's some more from the Cinderella Man premier which was what a week ago?
http://thora.org/images6C/cinderellaman.htm
Now the last movie I saw her in was Ghost World, even if it was filmed in 2000(when it came out) that'd make her 18. In these pics she's 23. I think she's definitely thin, but not too thin(borderline though). She's still got her cheeks, her arms don't look like twiggs, and she's definitely not reverted to a training bra. Don't much care for the blonde hair on her though.

Yeah, agreed. A tad pale but she looks fine.
