Does anyone else get annoyed when they see "actress and model" written as a single phrase.?

Yes I do.

Most "actresses" who are models are only actresses because they look good and get roles that way, not because they have any discernible acting talent.

Yes, before anyone starts commenting, I know I'm generalizing, but the fact is that most REAL actors think that modeling is an extremely vapid industry and don't want anything to do with it.

Sometimes. What I came to know, however, is there are two different worlds when you think about Modeling and Acting. There's the one for people who've done little-to-no research, where everything is a dream. And then there's the version where you actually realize they're cut-throat businesses, that actually INVOLVE business. Seen from one point of view, being either could fulfill your wildest fantasies. Seen from the other, well, most people can't handle it. I came to realize that most people would rather familiarize themselves with the dream-fulfilling version, where the two are very alike. Now, anyone that knows the truth will disagree, but I find that the phrase 'ignorance is bliss' comes to fruition around matters like these.

No, this doesn't annoy me. This is just the way publicists punch up people's credentials.

yeah it really does. >;(
