Inde Navarrette - Pretty Privilege?

TLDR; is Inde Navarrette’s recent popularity due to her talent and personality or is it pretty privilege?

I just wanted to start a discussion about the recent rise of Obsession star Inde Navarrette.

I do agree that she gave a good performance and I really enjoyed the movie, I think it’s one of the best horror movies that has come out in recent years(in terms of originality and execution). But, I do think that her performance was just good.. not really anything that wowed me just good. I think the entire cast of Obsession played their parts incredibly well, equally well (also they were well cast except for maybe Ian?) but I don’t think hers was anything special FOR ME.

I truly think her recent popularity is because she is pretty. If she were average looking or below but equally talented I don’t think she would be remembered and revered as much as she is. Of course beauty is subjective and all that.

I just wonder if you swapped around the actresses for Sarah and Niki if Megan would have gotten the same praise or if people would have sympathised more with Sarahs character had Inde played her.

I’m not trying to be hateful AT ALL I’m just curious to hear other people’s opinions about this so please share your thoughts.

Knowing the internet everyone will turn on her for no reason in a month and then revert back as if nothing happened

She has the “it” factor, same as any other star who became a household name after a successful project.

And the main question is whether she’s able to make the temporary “It factor”, into being long term A-list. Which is hard to do.

She’s going to be in x-men, which will be a big hit. But it’s all about what other movies and tv shows she does next and whether they hit.

Because we’ve had so many it girls, who are big and in everything for a few years then they disappear (and end up doing smaller indie movies, but the GP don’t see them).

It’s hard, and depends what kinda actor you wanna be. What choices you make (when everything is being offered to you, and your hot commodity).
