Ugly Actress (Female- Drama)

Look, I know I'm not drop dead gorgeous. I realize that due to that I'm not going to get the ditsy, blonde, idiotic, stripper, main title roles and I'm okay with that. I don't want roles that measure my acting by how good I look in my bra and panties or how hot I am lip-locking with the actor co-starring with me. I know this. I am okay with it. To be honest, I find myself to be quite confident.

But... well, my best friend told me about how her father said I would never be a successful actress because I was ugly.

That hurt me.

Heck, that sounds childish and I would never admit it to anyone, but that is the simplest way to put it: it hurt me.

I'm not a model. I'm not stick thin. I think my nose is too big. I think my thighs are too wide. My arms are not toned. My facial features are too small for my face.

I like my hair.

That's besides the point, though.

How dare he. I'll show him exactly how great I can be.

I will be great.

I won't be overlooked because I'm ugly. I'll be noticed for my acting talent.

My talent is the important thing.

My talent.

I don't have to be pretty.

Right...?
